From: Mathematical analysis of a lymphatic filariasis model with quarantine and treatment

Parameter

Description

Λ h

Λ v

Recruitment rate of mosquito population

μ h

Natural death rate of human population

μ v

Natural death rate of mosquito population

β

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
