Stochastic simulations of the Ross-Mcdonald system approaching elimination due to slow declines in a per-capita biting rate, b mosquito population size, and slow increases in c per-capita recovery rate d per-capita mosquito mortality rate. The dashed vertical line indicates the critical threshold for extinction of the pathogen in the deterministic system. The time to parasite extinction is longer in the fast-slow stochastic systems than in the corresponding deterministic systems
