Differential Equations
X: Small Ruminants (Primary host)
$$
\begin{aligned}
\frac{dS_X}{dt} &= b_X - \left(\beta_X \frac{I_X}{N} S_X \cdot f_{env}\right) - \omega S_X + \alpha_1 B_X - \mu_X S_X + \epsilon V_X,\\
\frac{dE_X}{dt} &= \left(\beta_X \frac{I_X}{N} S_X \cdot f_{env}\right) - \sigma E_X + \alpha_2 B_X - \mu_X E_X,\\
\frac{dI_X}{dt} &= \sigma E_X - \left(\theta_1 \gamma_1 I_X + \theta_2 \gamma_2 I_X\right) + \alpha_3 B_X - (\mu_X + \delta_X) I_X,\\
\frac{dR_X}{dt} &= \theta_1 \gamma_1 I_X + \theta_2 \gamma_2 I_X - \mu_X R_X + \lambda V_X,\\
\frac{dV_X}{dt} &= \omega S_X - \mu_X V_X - \lambda V_X - \epsilon V_X,\\
\frac{dB_X}{dt} &= \kappa_X - (\alpha_1 + \alpha_2 + \alpha_3 + \mu_X) B_X.
\end{aligned}
$$
Note: $R_{X/M}$ in your architecture corresponds to the recovered/immune compartment (here shown as $R_X$).
Keep the same symbol in your simulator for consistency.
Y: Wild Small Ruminants (Secondary host)
$$
\begin{aligned}
\frac{dS_Y}{dt} &= b_Y - \left(\beta_{XY}\frac{I_X}{N} S_Y \cdot f_{env}\right) - \mu_Y S_Y,\\
\frac{dI_Y}{dt} &= \left(\beta_{XY}\frac{I_X}{N} S_Y \cdot f_{env}\right) - \mu_Y I_Y.
\end{aligned}
$$
Z: Atypical Hosts
$$
\begin{aligned}
\frac{dS_Z}{dt} &= b_Z - \left(\beta_{XZ}\frac{I_X}{N} S_Z \cdot f_{env}\right) - \mu_Z S_Z,\\
\frac{dI_Z}{dt} &= \left(\beta_{XZ}\frac{I_X}{N} S_Z \cdot f_{env}\right) - \mu_Z I_Z.
\end{aligned}
