Asymptomatic Malaria Infections in Pregnant Women of Ngbo in Ohaukwu Local Government Area of Ebonyi State of Nigeria
摘要
This paper uses a deterministic parameterized mathematical malaria model to capture the malaria data of Ogbodo et al. (Niger J Physiol Sci 2009) and the mosquito data of Onyido et al. (Int J Parasit Dis 4:1–9, 2009). We use the “fitted” model to study the impact of various control measures on malaria incidence among pregnant women in Ngbo, Ohaukwu local government area, Ebonyi State, Nigeria. Our simulation results suggest control measures that will lead to the last episode of malaria infection among pregnant women, the most vulnerable group in the malaria hyperendemic region.
