Abstract

A 6-dimension dynamical schistosomiasis model incorporating five time delays is established in this paper. Two equilibrium points: a disease free equilibrium and an endemic equilibrium, are calculated respectively. The stability behaviors at the disease free equilibrium are analysed. Both analytical and numerical results are presented that prepatent periods in infection can affect the schistosomiasis transmission significantly. Thus, two effective measures on schistosomiasis prevention and control are obtained: lengthening the prepatent period in susceptible snails, and prolonging the incubation periods in miracidia and cercaria by temperature control or drug restraint. And then, numerical simulations are given to illustrate the validity and effectiveness of the model. At last a discussion is provided about our results and further work.
