abstract: Generic simulation modelling of crop diseases using a Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Removed
  ('SEIR') model. This type of model was first described in botanical epidemiology
  by Zadoks (1971) <https://doi.org/10.1094/Phyto-61-600> and implemented in the 'EPIRICE'
  model by Savary et al. (2012) <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cropro.2011.11.009> detailing
  the model's development, use and results from modelling global unmanaged epidemics
  of rice diseases for five major rice diseases, bacterial blight, brown spot, leaf
  blast, sheath blight and tungro. Specific functions are provided to simulate all
  of these diseases with a generic 'SEIR' model function that is suitable for parameterising
  for use with other pathosystems as demonstrated in Savary et al. 2012 and Kim et
  al. 2015 <https://doi.org/10.1016/j.agrformet.2015.01.011> along with two wheat
  diseases, brown (leaf) rust and Septoria tritici blotch as published in Savary et
  al. 2015 <https://doi.org/10.1007/s10658-015-0650-7>. Functions for fetching and
  formatting weather data from the NASA POWER database are also provided to simplify
  the process of running simulations.
