Predicting lymphatic filariasis transmission and elimination dynamics using a multi-model ensemble framework

Mathematical models of parasite transmission provide powerful tools for assessing the impacts of interventions. Owing to complexity and uncertainty, no single model may capture all features of transmission and elimination dynamics. Multi-model ensemble modelling offers a framework to help overcome b...
