Fig. 9From: Refined stratified-worm-burden models that incorporate specific biological features of human and snail hosts provide better estimates of Schistosoma diagnosis, transmission, and controlValidation of SWB model calibration for child and adult groups in a high transmission community. For each group (panel a, children; panel b, adults), we used its calibrated biological parameter ensemble and associated FOI λ estimates to generate a likely range of community realizations based on 200 different parameter choices, then simulating a likely egg-test distribution for each choice. These were then binned to indicate probable egg-count distributions. The bar-whisker chart of these binned counts is compared to the observed data (blue dots) for each group. The y-axis in panel b is truncated, having two different sections with two different scalesBack to article page
