Fig 2 — Schematic overview of the different transmission pathways of Taenia solium incorporated in cystiSim. Tapeworm carriers (HT) transmit the parasite to pigs based on parameters for direct (1 − (1 − m2p)^HT)or indirect (1 − (1 − e2p)^EN) transmission where EN denotes the environmental contamination. Direct transmission leads to high intensity infections in pigs (PIH), a simulation of coprophagia. Indirect transmission leads to low intensity infections in pigs (PIL) and constitutes the environmental contamination. Pigs transmit the infection based on two parameters, for high infection intensities (ph2m) or low infection intensities (pl2m).
