Numerical Modeling of the Dynamics of Malaria Transmission in a Highly Endemic Region of India

Abstract Using a dynamical model (VECTRI) for malaria transmission that accounts for the influence of population and climatic conditions, malaria transmission dynamics is investigated for a highly endemic region (state of Odisha) in India. The model is first calibrated over the region, and subsequen...
