A Multiscale Model for the World’s First Parasitic Disease Targeted for Eradication: Guinea Worm Disease

Computational and Mathematical Methods in Medicine, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
Guinea worm disease (GWD) is both a neglected tropical disease and an environmentally driven infectious disease. Environmentally driven infectious diseases remain one of the biggest health threats for human welfare in developing countries and the threat is increased by the looming danger of climate change. In this paper we present a multiscale model of
