The Significance of Stochastic CTMC Over Deterministic Model in Understanding the Dynamics of Lymphatic Filariasis With Asymptomatic Carriers

Journal of Applied Mathematics, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Lymphatic filariasis is a leading cause of chronic and irreversible damage to human immunity. This paper presents deterministic and continuous‐time Markov chain (CTMC) stochastic models regarding lymphatic filariasis dynamics. To account for randomness and uncertainties in dynamics, the CTMC model was formulated based on deterministic model possible ...

Wolbachia and Lymphatic Filarial Nematodes and Their Implications in the Pathogenesis of the Disease

Journal of Parasitology Research, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Lymphatic filariasis (LF) is an infection of three closely related filarial worms such as Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi, and Brugia timori. These worms can cause a devastating disease that involves acute and chronic lymphoedema of the extremities, which can cause elephantiasis in both sexes and hydroceles in males.

An empirical method to estimate the effect of soil on the rate for transmission of damping‐off disease

, 2004
The ability of some soils to suppress soil-borne diseases has been long recognised, but the underlying epidemiological mechanisms by which this occurs are largely unknown.• Using damping-off disease caused by Rhizoctonia solani, spreading through ...

Side Effects following School Deworming among School‐Age Children in Oti Region, Ghana

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Background. Preventive chemotherapy with anthelminthic drugs is meant to control soil‐transmitted helminthiases, but some children may experience adverse reactions. Objective. This study investigated why some school‐age children did not receive the medication as well as the side effects experienced by those who did during the 2019 preventive ...
