Article scientifique 2023 Anglais

Résumé

Abstract Following some successes recorded in recent clinical trials of vaccine in mice and rodentsof a Schistosomiases also known as the snail fever, we present in this work a mathematicalmodel to assess the potential impact of vaccine discovery on the spread of the disease incommunities around the Volta lake in Ghana, West Africa. We present also the efficacy ofa hybrid method that involves the combination of vaccine administration and an age oldpractice of controlling the population in schistosomiasis prone areas as a control strategyagainst the disease.
