Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of infectious diseases
TL;DR: The basic building blocks of infectious disease epidemiology are considered--the SIS and SIR type models--before considering the progress that has been made over the recent decades and the challenges that lie ahead.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is argued that a better understanding of the contribution of human and putative animal reservoirs to gambiense-HAT epidemiology is mandatory to inform elimination strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative evaluation of the strategy to eliminate human African trypanosomiasis in the Democratic Republic of Congo
TL;DR: Improvements to active detection, such as screening those who have not previously participated and raising overall screening levels, as well as beginning widespread vector control in the area have the potential to ensure successful and timely elimination of HAT.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: An overview of a collection of novel model-based analyses which aim to address key questions on the dynamics of transmission and control of nine NTDs, including Chagas disease, visceral leishmaniasis, human African trypanosomiasis, leprosy, soil-transmitted helminths, schistosOMiasis, lymphatic filariasis and trachoma.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the impact of deploying "tiny targets" which attract and kill tsetse in the riverine habitats of the Gambian sleeping sickness in the South of Chad.
