Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsDynamics of Infected Snails and Mated Schistosoma Worms within the Human HostG. Besigye-Bafaki, L. S. LuboobiMale and female worms are independently distributed within a human host each with a Poisson probability distribution mass function. Mating takes place immediately when partners are available. It was found that the mated worm function is non-linear near the origin and becomes almost linear as the worms increase. They increase with increase in the worm load due to aggregation of … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,237 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA 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 PDF Cite
