ABM-EpiVector
A MATLAB toolbox for simulating the epidemiological dynamics of vector-borne diseases using an agent-based model. This tool integrates SEIR and SEI compartmental models to represent disease transmission between humans and vectors in a spatially structured environment.
Key Features
- Agent-based simulation of human and vector populations.
- SEIR model for humans and SEI model for vectors to track infection states over time.
- Dynamic spatial maps for movement behaviors based on environmental conditions.
- Customizable parameters for infection probabilities, vector lifecycles, and human mobility.
- Visualization tools for generating time-series plots, state evolution graphs, and GIF animations.
Simulation Overview
The simulation progresses in daily time steps, where:
-Vectors move, bite, and infect hosts.
-Humans commute between home and work locations.
-Infection dynamics are updated based on interaction probabilities.
Users can define initial population conditions, modify transmission parameters, and extract data for epidemiological analysis.
