Abstract:
Schistosomiasis is a kind of common disease around the riverside or lakeside areas, especially popular in rural areas, and causes huge economic loss. Based on existing schistosomiasis dynamic models and data, a new method of working out coefficients, and an improved model were provided in our study. The improved model can be applied to the study of the characteristics of transmission of schistosomiasis, and the effect of new control methods for schistosomiasis was evaluated.
