Vector competence of Simulium oyapockense s.l. and S. incrustatum for Onchocerca volvulus: Implications for ivermectin-based control in the Amazonian focus of human onchocerciasis, a multi-vector-host system

Prediction of community prevalence of human onchocerciasis in the Amazonian onchocerciasis focus: Bayesian approach
Carabin H, Escalona M, Marshall C, Vivas-Martinez S, Botto C, Joseph L, et al.
Bull World Health Organ . 2003 Sep; 81(7):482-90. PMID: 12973640
Objective: To develop a Bayesian hierarchical model for human onchocerciasis with which to explore the factors that influence prevalence of microfilariae in the Amazonian focus of onchocerciasis and predict the...
