On latencies in malaria infections and their impact on the disease dynamics by Yanyu Xiao, Xingfu Zou

“…In this paper, we modify the classic Ross-Macdonald model for malaria disease dynamics by incorporating latencies both for human beings and female mosquitoes. One novelty of our model is that we introduce two general probability functions ($P_1(t)$ and $P_2(t)$) to reflect the fact that the latencies differ from individuals to individuals. …”
