Modeling environmental surveillance of Dracunculus medinensis in aquatic habitats using a three-dimensional agent-based model

2026-05-07

Abstract excerpt

Guinea worm disease eradication efforts may benefit from environmental surveillance methods capable of detecting infected copepod intermediate hosts in aquatic habitats. We developed a three-dimensional, spatially explicit agent-based model to examine how ecological processes influence detection probability for a hypothetical water sampling method. The results show that surveillance sensitivity is shaped by the co...
