On the solution of mathematical models of herd immunity in human helminth infections.

M V José1.   

Abstract

The general solution of the mathematical model of herd immunity to human helminth infections recently proposed by Anderson and May is obtained. The numerical solution of a more accurate biological model is indistinguishable from the corresponding exact solution of a more tractable mathematical model. Computer simulations of some particular cases of this model support the notion that both ecological and immunological factors determine the observed convex patterns of age-prevalence and age-intensity curves of human helminth infections.
