Population dynamics of Trichostrongylus colubriformis in sheep: Model to predict the worm population over time as a function of infection rate and host age
International Journal for Parasitology, Vol.20(3), pp.365-373
1990
Abstract
The developing immunity of sheep to Trichostrongylus colubriformis infections was described by a mathematical function. The rate of adult establishment was assumed to be a measure of the host's acquired immunity to this parasite. Prediction of establishment from infection rate and host age was used to estimate worm burden, worm rejection and arrested development.
