Acta Medica Okayama 55 2008 Mathematical modeling of Echinococcus multilocularis transmission EN Hirofumi Ishikawa <p>A mathematical model for the transmission cycle of Echinococcus multilocularis would be useful for estimating its prevalence, and the model simulation can be instrumental in designing various control strategies. This review focuses on the epidemiological factors in the E. multilocularis transmission cycle and the recent advances of mathematical models for E. multilocularis transmission.</p> No potential conflict of interest relevant to this article was reported.
