Variable	Description
${\beta }_j$	Probability of infection when host type j is bitten by an infected vector
${\delta }_j$	Probability a vector is infected when biting an infected host of type j.
$b_j$	Bite rate on host type j (number of times bitten per day per mosquito divided among the host population)
${\gamma }_j$	Recovery rate for host type j
${\mu }_{j-},{\mu }_{j+}$	Death rate for uninfected/infected hosts of type j
${\alpha }_v,{\mu }_v$	Birth and death rates for vectors
