Add an insecticide-treated net (ITN) intervention with a seasonal usage pattern to the campaign using the UsageDependentBednet class.

Note: for WaningEffect,

box_duration = 0 + decay_time_constant > 0 => WaningEffectExponential box_duration > 0 + decay_time_constant = 0 => WaningEffectBox/Constant (depending on duration) box_duration > 0 + decay_time_constant > 0 => WaningEffectBoxExponential

    A dictionary defining the seasonal dependence of net use. Time since start will reset to zero once it reaches 365. This allows you to simulate seasonal effects. Times are given in days of the year; values greater than 365 are ignored. Dictionaries can be (times, values) for linear spline or (minimum coverage, day of maximum coverage) for sinusoidal dynamics.

None .. note:

Previous way of setting discard config is no longer available, you can translate it to the current way by:
