Parameter definitions of our Schistosoma mansoni-malaria co-infection model.

*Parameters were estimated suing a Bayesian Melding procedure [81], [82] to fit the S. mansoni dynamic model to prevalence data for high-risk endemic communities. In high-risk communities, the overall S. mansoni prevalence was varied from 40–80% and the high worm burden prevalence was varied from 15–60% [6], [17], [83], [84]. High worm burden was defined as having a S. mansoni load exceeding 1000 eggs/g of stool [6].†Density of mosquitoes per human was varied so as to account for different value of the annual entomological inoculation rate.Parameter definitions of our Schistosoma mansoni-malaria co-infection model.
