Landscape Epidemiology Modeling Using an Agent-Based Model and a Geographic Information System

Landscape Epidemiology Modeling Using an Agent-Based Model and a Geographic Information System

A landscape epidemiology modeling framework is presented which integrates the simulation outputs from an established spatial agent-based model (ABM) of malaria with a geographic information system (GIS). For a study area in Kenya, five landscape scenarios are constructed with varying coverage levels...
