Abstract
Simple models can be used to study the effects of factors involved in trypanosomiasis transmission, provided rough parameter estimates are available. The models should also be tested against Held data; more complex models are needed which relate prevalence to the sensitivity of the diagnostic method, and take account of age-dependent changes in host susceptibility.
Résumé
Les modeles simples pouver être utiliser étudier les éléments être engagé le transmission des trypanosomes pàthogens des animaux, si les paramêtres approximatif peut éstimer et sont disponsible. Les modèles pouvent assister le comprehension parce qu’ils sont simple et ils manquent les détails mais on peut étudier le situation epidemiologique dans un façon analytique. Les modèles doit être vérifier côntre les données obtenont sûr la terrain mais les modèles plus compliquées doivent dévéloper qui pouvent comparer les chiffres de prevalence au sensitivité de la méthod diagnostique aussi incorporer les changes dans le susceptibilité des animaux contre l’âge des hôtes.
