(Even if some\r\ninsecticides kill before feeding, that should make no difference to\r\nmalaria dynamics)._\r\n\r\n__multiplier on availability, decaying to 1 (i.e. the deterrent)__\r\n_Yes, that works. We most likely won't need this but it is better to\r\ninclude it now in case there is an intervention that needs it._\r\n\r\n__change availability permanently/until changed again__\r\n_Yes, this should allow us to add traps or change the coverage of\r\ninsecticide treated cattle._\r\n\r\n__Does setting the availability of traps give sufficient control of how many mosquitoes they attract? Is it easy enough to convert, say, a percentage of mosquitoes caught, to an availability (if we need this way of parameterising)? This is I suppose your point about coverage levels...__\r\n_One option would be to expose the user to parameters that are simpler\r\nthan what the model uses and do the conversion ourselves. For example,\r\nfor odour-baited traps, we could ask the user to input_\r\n* the _relative attractiveness of traps to humans_ (which can be measured\r\nin the lab in odour tunnels as the ratio of mosquitoes that fly to traps\r\nthat fly to one human)\r\n* the _number of traps to humans_,\r\n* the _decay curve and duration of effectiveness_, with the assumption that the mortality rate is 100%\r\nFor insecticide treated livestock, the inputs would be,\r\n* the _proportion of animals covered by insecticide_ (we can assume that\r\nthis is equivalent to the proportional availability of treated non-human\r\nhosts - but if we want to get more complicated we can divide this into\r\ndifferent kinds of animals like cows and goats)\r\nb) the additional mortality of the insecticide\r\nc) the decay curve and duration.\r\n\r\n_We will need to decide whether we want to provide these as two different\r\ninterventions where we do the conversion of parameters within\r\nopenmalaria or offer them as generic interventions (in the same style as\r\nthe other vector control interventions) and ask the users to work\r\nthrough the conversion of parameters. My preference would be to offer\r\nthe generic intervention and leave the conversion to a pre-processor\r\nlike the VecNet OpenMalaria interface_"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/SwissTPH/openmalaria/issues/comments/188902534","html_url":"https://github.com/SwissTPH/openmalaria/issues/86#issuecomment-188902534","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/SwissTPH/openmalaria/issues/86","id":188902534,"user":{"login":"dhardy","id":134893,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/134893?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/dhardy","html_url":"https://github.com/dhardy","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dhardy/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dhardy/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dhardy/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dhardy/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dhardy/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dhardy/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dhardy/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dhardy/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/dhardy/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-02-25T17:51:31Z","updated_at":"2016-02-25T17:51:31Z","body":"@nakul7 @obriet please check this potential schema for \"baited traps\":\r\nhttps://github.com/SwissTPH/openmalaria/wiki/GeneratedVectorTrapsDoc#elt-anopheles"}}
