The hidden hand of asymptomatic infection hinders control of neglected tropical diseases

2023-10-02

Abstract excerpt

Neglected tropical diseases are responsible for considerable morbidity and mortality in low-income populations. International efforts have reduced their global burden, but transmission is persistent and case-finding-based interventions rarely target asymptomatic individuals. We develop a generic mathematical modelling framework for analysing the dynamics of visceral leishmaniasis in the Indian sub-continent (VL),...
