摘 要:A stochastic individual based model,SCHISTOX,has been developed for the study of schistosome transmission dynamics and the impact of control by mass drug *** novel aspects that can be investigated include individual level adherence and access to treatment,multiple communities,human sex population dynamics,and implementation of a potential *** of the model parameters have been estimated within previous studies and have been shown to vary between communities,such as the age-specific contact rates governing the age profiles of ***,uncertainty remains as there are wide ranges for certain parameter values and a few remain relatively *** analyse the model dynamics by parameterizing it with published parameter *** also discuss the development of SCHISTOX in the form of a publicly available open-source GitHub *** next key development stage involves validating the model by calibrating to epidemiological data.
