Abstract

Schematic models have long been used to provide vital information on tropical diseases control programs.
Recently schematic mathematical models found their application in predicting about the output of intervention of
several diseases, for example mathematical schematic modeling has been successfully applied to model
Onchocerciasis Control Program output in West Africa. This gives strong evidence that schematic models are really
robust and can be widely applied to model diseases intervention program out comes. The proposed model in this
study is a modification of the Ross Macdonald Schematic Model in a way that it might be used to predict the control
program outcome of African Trypanosomiasis. The schematic model has therefore been successful in demonstrating
that African Trypanosomiasis % Prevalence Rate might drop as a function of increasing % coverage by the control
program.
