Mathematical modelling and control of African animal trypanosomosis with interacting populations in West Africa-Could biting flies be important in main taining the disease endemicity?
Odeniran P, Onifade A, MacLeod E, Ademola I, Alderton S, Welburn S
PLoS One . 2020 Nov; 15(11):e0242435. PMID: 33216770
African animal trypanosomosis (AAT) is transmitted cyclically by tsetse flies and mechanically by biting flies (tabanids and stomoxyines) in West Africa. AAT caused by Trypanosoma congolense, T. vivax and T....

Exploring the effect of human and animal population growth on vector-borne disease transmission with an agent-based model of Rhodesian human African trypanosomiasis in eastern province, Zambia
Alderton S, MacLeod E, Anderson N, Machila N, Simuunza M, Welburn S, et al.
PLoS Negl Trop Dis . 2018 Nov; 12(11):e0006905. PMID: 30408045
This paper presents the development of an agent-based model (ABM) to investigate Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense human African trypanosomiasis (rHAT) disease transmission. The ABM model, fitted at a fine spatial scale,...

An agent-based model of tsetse fly response to seasonal climatic drivers: Assessing the impact on sleeping sickness transmission rates
Alderton S, MacLeod E, Anderson N, Palmer G, Machila N, Simuunza M, et al.
PLoS Negl Trop Dis . 2018 Feb; 12(2):e0006188. PMID: 29425200
Background: This paper presents the development of an agent-based model (ABM) to incorporate climatic drivers which affect tsetse fly (G. m. morsitans) population dynamics, and ultimately disease transmission. The model...

A Multi-Host Agent-Based Model for a Zoonotic, Vector-Borne Disease. A Case Study on Trypanosomiasis in Eastern Province, Zambia
Alderton S, MacLeod E, Anderson N, Schaten K, Kuleszo J, Simuunza M, et al.
PLoS Negl Trop Dis . 2016 Dec; 10(12):e0005252. PMID: 28027323
Background: This paper presents a new agent-based model (ABM) for investigating T. b. rhodesiense human African trypanosomiasis (rHAT) disease dynamics, produced to aid a greater understanding of disease transmission, and...

Exploiting Human Resource Requirements to Infer Human Movement Patterns for Use in Modelling Disease Transmission Systems: An Example from Eastern Province, Zambia
Alderton S, Noble J, Schaten K, Welburn S, Atkinson P
PLoS One . 2015 Oct; 10(9):e0139505. PMID: 26421926
In this research, an agent-based model (ABM) was developed to generate human movement routes between homes and water resources in a rural setting, given commonly available geospatial datasets on population...
