emodpy_malaria.interventions.irs.add_irs_housing_modification(campaign, start_day: int = 1, coverage: float = 1, killing_initial_effect: float = 1, killing_box_duration_days: int = 0, killing_exponential_decay_constant_days: int = 90, repelling_initial_effect: float = 0, repelling_box_duration_days: int = 0, repelling_exponential_decay_constant_days: int = 90, insecticide: str = None, node_ids: list = None)

Adds IRSHousingModification intervention to the campaign. The IRSHousingModification intervention class includes Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS) in the simulation. IRS is another key vector control tool in which insecticide is sprayed on the interior walls of a house so that mosquitoes resting on the walls after consuming a blood meal will die. IRS can also have a repellent effect. Because this class is distributed to individuals, it can target subgroups of the population. To target all individuals in a node, use IndoorSpaceSpraying. Do not use IRSHousingModification and IndoorSpaceSpraying together.

Parameters

  • campaign – A campaign builder that also contains schema_path parameters

  • start_day – The day on which the intervention is distributed

  • coverage – The fraction of individuals in the target demographic that will receive this intervention

  • killing_initial_effect – Initial strength of the Killing effect. The effect decays over time.

  • killing_box_duration_days – Box duration of effect in days before the decay of Killing Initial Effect.

  • killing_exponential_decay_constant_days – The exponential decay length, in days of the Killing Initial Effect.

  • repelling_initial_effect – Initial strength of the Killing effect. The effect decays over time.

  • repelling_box_duration_days – Box duration of effect in days before the decay of Repelling Initial Effect.

  • repelling_exponential_decay_constant_days – The exponential decay length, in days of the Repelling Initial Effect.

  • insecticide – The name of the insecticide defined in config.Insecticides for this intervention. If insecticides are being used, then this must be defined as one of those values. If they are not being used, then this does not needed to be specified or can be empty string. It cannot have a value if config.Insecticides does not define anything.

  • node_ids – A list of node ids to which this intervention will be distributed. None or [] distributes intervention to all nodes.

Returns
