As mentioned for other equations, it is not important to understand the derivation of these formulas, but to have understand the effect of changing a variable in the equation to ultimately affect the quantity of what you are trying to measure.  The Ross-Macdonald model is stated below in the form of two equations, one showing the maximum number of infected individuals, and the other showing the maximum number of infected mosquitoes: mosquitoes.  \begin{align*}  \dot{Y} &= abI \left ( \frac{H-Y}{H}\right )-\varepsilon Y && \text{Infective humans} \\  \dot{I} &= ac(V-I)\frac{Y}{H}-\delta I && \text{Infective mosquitoes} \\
