The evaluation of control measures against Schistosoma mekongi in Cambodia by a mathematical model (2008)

Hisakane, Naoto, Kirinoki, Masashi, Chigusa, Yuichi, Sinuon, Muth, Socheat, Duong, Matsuda, Hajime, ...

We constructed a mathematical model for the transmission of Schistosoma mekongi in Cambodia. The simulation of the model will be instrumental in planning schistosomiasis control measures. The model...

Mathematical modeling of Echinococcus multilocularis transmission (2008)

Ishikawa, Hirofumi

A mathematical model for the transmission cycle of Echinococcus multilocularis would be useful for estimating its prevalence, and the model simulation can be instrumental in designing various control...

Modelling the dynamics and control of Schistosoma japonicum transmission on Bohol island, the Philippines (2008)

Ishikawa, Hirofumi, Ohmae, Hiroshi, Pangilinan, Rogelio, Redulla, Apolinario, Matsuda, Hajime

We have investigated a mathematical model for the transmission of Schistosoma japonicum in the infested region of northeastern Bohol island in the Philippines. The development of transmission models...

Estimation of the sporozoite rate of malaria vectors using the polymerase chain reaction and a mathematical model. (2006)

Harada, Masakazu, Ishikawa, Hirofumi, Matsuoka, Hiroyuki, Ishii, Akira, Suguri, Setsuo

We developed a sensitive polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method for the detection of Plasmodium falciparum DNA from mosquitoes collected in the field. Plasmodium falciparum was detected from 15.2% of...

A model for the transmission of Echinococcus multilocularis in Hokkaido, Japan (2003)

Ishikawa, Hirofumi, Ohga, Yukio, Doi, Rikuo

A mathematical model for Echinococcus multilocularis transmission would be useful to estimate its prevalence and manage control strategies. We propose a mathematical model which quantitatively...
