Models for The Distribution on Pasture of Infective Larvae of the Gastrointestinal Nematode Parasites of Sheep

Abstract

Two models are proposed for the distribution on pasture of infective larvae of the gastrointestinal nematode parasites of sheep. These models were developed to include as many as possible of the known biological components. Procedures for estimating the parameters of the models are outlined and advantages of these models over earlier attempts to describe the distribution of infective larvae on pasture are briefly discussed.
