The parameters for the RVF model for high rainfall and moderate temperature (wet season) for model in Table 2 with values, range and references.

Note that all parameter units are days. The parameter α1 is a function of the mosquito’s gonotrophic cycle (the amount of time a mosquito requires to produce eggs) and its preference for livestock blood, while α2 is a function of the ruminant’s exposed surface area, the efforts it takes to prevent mosquito bites (such as swishing its tail), and any vector control interventions in place to kill mosquitoes encountering cows or prevent bites [24].
