Model development to assess the impact of a preventive treatment with sarolaner and moxidectin on Dirofilaria immitis infection dynamics in dogs | Parasites & Vectors

Model development Development of compartmental model A compartmental model (Fig. 1) was developed comprising two transmission pathways. Fig. 1 Compartmental transmission model with a treated (moxidectin/sarolaner) and not-treated pathway In each transmission pathway, a proportion (defined by the host preference) of the Aedes aegypti mosquito population is expected to feed on dogs, of which a proportion is … Read more
