Quantifying the value of surveillance data for improving model predictions of lymphatic filariasis elimination.
BACKGROUND:Mathematical models are increasingly being used to evaluate strategies aiming to achieve the control or elimination of parasitic diseases. Recently, owing to growing realization that process-oriented models are useful for ecological forecasts only if the biological processes are well defi...
