Risk evaluation in sleeping sickness: A mathematical contribution

The concept of "risk" is important in epidemiology but is often used in a confused way for sleeping sickness. Using a rigorous approach resulting from mathematical modelling, new virtual entomological risk indicators and parasitological transmission indexes derived from the basic reproduct...

Zusammenfassung:The concept of "risk" is important in epidemiology but is often used in a confused way for sleeping sickness. Using a rigorous approach resulting from mathematical modelling, new virtual entomological risk indicators and parasitological transmission indexes derived from the basic reproduction rate R sub(0) are proposed and discussed.Original Abstract: Le concept de "risque" est important en epidemiologie, mais il est souvent utilise de maniere confuse pour la maladie du sommeil. Une approche rigoureuse issue de la modelisation mathematique est utilisee pour proposer et discuter de nouveaux indicateurs du risque entomologique virtuel et du risque parasitologique reel, derives du taux de reproduction R sub(0).
