Description of parameters in model (1).

Variables Description

Per capita birth rate of susceptibles.
Per capita (natural) mortality rate of the larvae.
Per capita (natural) mortality rate of the susceptible and infected larvae.
Per capita mortality rate of the infected larvae due to disease.
Recovery rate from disease.
Per capita transition rate. This is the rate at which the susceptible larva matures.
Rate at which the disease is transferred from infected to susceptible class, when the contact between susceptible and infected individuals occurs.
