Modeling the Influence of Environment and Intervention on Cholera in Haiti [PDF]
We propose a simple model with two infective classes in order to model the cholera epidemic in Haiti. We include the impact of environmental events (rainfall, temperature and tidal range) on the epidemic in the Artibonite and Ouest regions by introducing
