    Snippet: In traditional SIR models, the rate of new infection (arrow from the S compartment to the I) is generally proportional to the product of the susceptible and the infected populations, i.e. proportional to SI. In the WAIT framework, the environmental compartment, and not a host, drives the rate of infection. In this specific example, the W i compartment drives the infection such that the rate of infection is proportional to SW i . Fig. 1 : Adapted .....
    Document: In traditional SIR models, the rate of new infection (arrow from the S compartment to the I) is generally proportional to the product of the susceptible and the infected populations, i.e. proportional to SI. In the WAIT framework, the environmental compartment, and not a host, drives the rate of infection. In this specific example, the W i compartment drives the infection such that the rate of infection is proportional to SW i . Fig. 1 : Adapted SIR compartmental diagram. This depicts a standard SIR style compartmental model with the added compartments (shaded) corresponding to the WAIT environment. Note the dynamical properties of the W i and W u compartments. It is these dynamics that set the WAIT perspective apart from others: environments are often dynamical systems, with an ecology of their own.
