EPIFIL: The development of an age-structured model for describing the transmission dynamics and control of lymphatic filariasis

1 Jun 2000

Abstract excerpt

Mathematical models of transmission dynamics of infectious diseases provide a useful tool for investigating the impact of community based control measures. Previously, we used a dynamic (constant force-of-infection) model for lymphatic filariasis to describe observed patterns of infection and disease in endemic communities. In this paper, we expand the model to examine the effects of control options against...
