TL;DR: An agent-based simulation model is adapted for forecasting the impact of interventions on guinea worm disease in dogs to examine the interaction of multiple test factors including test accuracy, when the test can detect infection, dog selection, and dog-owner compliance with tethering recommendations and it finds that a diagnostic test could be successful if used in conjunction with existing interventions.
