Abstract: Conventional wisdom suggests any effort to control pests and parasites is better than none. However, growing evidence demonstrates weak or moderate effort can backfire, fail, and potentially worsen outcomes versus doing nothing. A central challenge is anticipating these potential failures before inducing environmental damage. We built a resource-explicit individual-based model of human schistosome and snail host transmission to evaluate biocontrol effort by simulating 22 predator stocking densities of native p… Show more
