Example solution for multiple species, single population model (abalone3b)

This model looks at multiple species that can be affected by the same pathogen or by a situation where species harbor and release pathogens that affect other species.

For this example, there are two species which release infectious particles which infect the other species. There are differences in infectious rate, reproduction rate and so forth to separate the model responses.
