The model(s) should address at least one issue of the classic rat-flea-human model, taking into account alternative transmission pathways. Any other aspect that can help to address the issues is also welcome, such as acquired immunity (by humans or rats). Key parameters of your model should be well-grounded in the available knowledge about plague transmission and ecology of vectors and reservoirs. |
