By convention we note 
. For ease of visualisation, in each equation, we separate the dynamics that were affected by either demographic, disease (entering or leaving a compartment due to disease development and virulence induced mortality) or vaccination factors. While the transmission parameter will be estimated, other parameters values can be found in Table 1.
