Taenia solium taeniasis and cysticercosis: extinction or outbreak
Animal Diseases, 2023 Taenia solium taeniasis and cysticercosis are neglected zoonotic diseases that affect human health and economies of developing countries. In this work, we formulate and analyze deterministic and continuous time Markov chain (CTMC) stochastic models to ...
