The dynamics of schistosome transmission is represented by this set of coupled differential equations |
Parameters | Interpretation |

y | the proportion of infected snails |
a | the rate of incidence for a single definitive host at unit density of infected snails |
b | the rate at which an infected definitive host causes snail infections |
g | the recovery rate for definitive host infections |
∆ | the density of snails |
Σ | the density of definitive hosts |
μ | per capita death rate of infected snails |
