In order to evaluate the impact of various intervention strategies on Plasmodium vivax dynamics, we introduce a simple mathematical model that can be easily adapted to country-specific data. The model includes case management, vector control, mass drug administration and reactive case detection interventions and is implemented in both deterministic and stochastic frameworks. It is available as an R package to enable users to calibrate and simulate it with their own data. By simulating and comparing the impact of various intervention combinations on malaria risk and burden, this model can a useful tool for strategic planning, implementation and resource mobilization.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
