Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA 2-Dimensional Model for the Transmission Dynamics of Schistosomiasis in the Human-Snail HostsG. Besigye-BafakiThe modes of transmission of schistosomiasis are considered. The transmission model is developed with an aim of establishing possible endemic equilibria within the community. Analysis of the model reveals that if the recovery rate β of human infectives and the death rate of snails δ are increased and if at the same time the contact rate κ of the human … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 5 · 31 May 2006 · 6,506 accessesView PDFCite
