A deterministic model of schistosomiasis with spatial structure by Fabio Augusto Milner, Ruijun Zhao

“…In this paper, the authors establish a model with spatial structurethat characterizes the density change of parasites following the flush-away oflarvae. It is shown that the reproductive number, which is an indicator ofprevalence of parasitism, is a decreasing function of the river current velocity.Moreover, numerical simulations suggest that the mean parasite load is lowwhen the velocity of river current flow is sufficiently high.…”
