Togetherness among Schistosomes: its effects on the dynamics of the infection
TL;DR: The effects of worm aggregation upon the transmission dynamics of schistosomiasis are discussed, with particular regard to the “threshold” and “breakpoint” phenomena.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regulation of parasite populations: A general theory of the epidemiology and control of parasitic infections
TL;DR: The most suitable control measures will depend on the type of parasite population regulation, and epidemiological study should include an experimental measure of the stability of the infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Consequences of helminth aggregation for the dynamics of schistosomiasis.
David J. Bradley,Robert M. May +1 more
TL;DR: The consequences of introducing aggregation into models of schistosomiasis transmission, especially that of Macdonald, are explored, and Macdonald's epidemiological conclusions are not robust to variations from the Poisson distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Implications for trematode control of interspecific larval antagonism within snail hosts
Journal ArticleDOI
Control of schistosomiasis mansoni in a small north east Brazilian community.
TL;DR: A seven-year project for the control of schistosomiasis due to S. mansoni was launched in November 1960 in the small village of Pontezinha, county of Cabo, state of Pernambuco and shows that a successful degree of control has been achieved in the project area.

Contributions to the mathematical theory of epidemics: IV. Analysis of experimental epidemics of the virus disease mouse ectromelia.
TL;DR: In the present analysis the assumption of constant rates gives a satisfactory account of the progress of an infection in a susceptible community, and suggests that for many purposes the assumed constant rates may be adequate.
