Parameter | MLE | 95% CI | |
---|---|---|---|
β 0 | 8.5 | 7.5–9.3 | Baseline number of parasites of the infection pressure |
β p | 2.6 | 1.4–4.1 | Amplitude of the infection pressure in the periurban zone |
β b | 0.1 | -0.7–1.5 | Amplitude of the infection pressure in the border zone |
β u | 1.2 | -1.3–2.7 | Amplitude of the infection pressure in the urban zone |
ϕ p | 0.5 | 0.3–1.3 | Decrease parasite rate in the periurban zone |
