Dose-response relationships for environmentally mediated infectious disease transmission models
Fig 6
Force of infection changes with dose aggregation.
Force of infection κf(ρW) relative to that when the contact rate is κ = 8 for constant daily dose κρE, i.e. κf(ρW)/(8f(κρW/8)), for each dose–response model parameterized to have an ID50 of 1E6 (comparable to influenza) at a) high, b) medium, and c) low total doses. Any parameters not constrained by the median dose were chosen from the best-fit influenza parameters (see S1 Appendix).
