  1. Notes: a is the probability per hour of an uncolonized agent who is located in a place with one or more colonized individuals transitioning to colonized state. b is the probability per hour of a colonized agent spontaneously transitioning to infected state. e is the probability per hour of a colonized agent spontaneously transitioning to uncolonized state.
