From: Mathematical analysis of a lymphatic filariasis model with quarantine and treatment
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Λ h | Recruitment rate of human population |
Λ v | Recruitment rate of mosquito population |
μ h | Natural death rate of human population |
μ v | Natural death rate of mosquito population |
β | Biting rate of the mosquito to humans |
𝜗 h | Success rate of transmission of infective filariform larvae from mosquitoes to humans |
𝜗 v | Success rate of microfilariae transmission from infected-acute and infected-chronic |
humans to susceptible mosquitoes | |
θ | Accounts for reduced number of adult microfilariae in humans due to treatment and |
quarantine of the infected chronic individuals | |
α h | Progression rate of latent individuals to infected-acute individuals |
α v | Progression rate from exposed mosquitoes to infected mosquitoes |
κ | Symptomatic rate of infected-acute individuals progressed to infected-chronic individuals |
n | Number of screened infected-acute individuals by health personnel |
φ | Treatment/prevention chemotherapy rate of the infected-acute individuals |
