The daily human biting rates (HBR) for the resident population strata are defined as the expected number of bites by vectors, per person, per day. To compute the HBR, we count up exposure over all the patches where residents spend time. We also consider the presence of visitors and other blood hosts (yellow input), which increases the total available hosts.
