Table 2

Parameters and their definitions for the HAV dynamic model.

Parameter	Definition	Value	Source

	A fraction of vaccinated humans	0.7	[11]
	Transmission rate for infectious humans	/year	Assumed
	Effective transmission rate of HAV due to the environment-to-human interaction	/year	Assumed
	Pathogen shed rate into the water supply or food by infectious humans	80 cells/mL/day	Assumed
	Mortality rate of HA pathogens, including phage degradation	/day	[11]
	Rate at which sanitation measures lead to the death of HA pathogens	/year	[11]
	Natural recovery rate for infectious humans ()	/day	[11]
	Rate at which susceptible humans are vaccinated	/year	[18]
	Natural human mortality rate	/year	[18]
	(Maximum) per capita growth rate of HA pathogens	0.73/day	[19]
	Rate at which the latent humans progress to infectious class	/day	[20]
