Parameters

• schema_path_container – schema path container? a way to pass the schema to the python script

• start_day – day to give out this intervention

• killing_initial_effect – initial parasite killing effect

• killing_box_duration – box duration for killing effect

• killing_exponential_decay_rate – rate at which killing effect decays per day. Use 0 for box duration only.
