Modelling how resource competition among snail hosts affects the mollusciciding frequency and intensity needed to control human schistosomes

2020-08-01

Abstract excerpt

Ecological interactions among intermediate hosts or vectors of human pathogens can enhance or hinder control efforts. However, we currently lack quantitative frameworks to predict how interactions among host physiology, ecology and control effort shape human disease risk. We explore this approach for human schistosomiasis, a major, historically neglected tropical disease. A recent re‐emphasis on snail host control...
