Macro-parasite transmission in dynamic seasonal environment: Basic Reproductive Number, endemicity, and control
2019-11-22
Abstract excerpt
Seasonality of transmission environment, which includes snail populations and habitats, or human-snail contact patterns, can affect the dynamics of schistosomiasis infection, and control outcomes. Conventional modeling approaches often ignore or oversimplify it by applying ‘seasonal mean’ formulation. Mathematically, such ‘averaging’ is justified when model outputs/quantities of interest depend linearly on input v...
