Spatial Agent-based Simulation Modeling In Public Health Av S. M. Niaz Arifin, Gregory R. Madey, Frank H. Collins

<p><b>Presents an overview of the complex biological systems used within a global public health setting and features a focus on malaria analysis</b></p><p>Bridging the gap between agent-based modeling and simulation (ABMS) and geographic information systems (GIS), <i>Spatial Agent-Based Simulation Modeling in Public Health: Design, Implementation, and Applications for Malaria Epidemiology </i>provides a useful introduction to the development of agent-based models (ABMs) by following a conceptual and biological core model of <i>Anopheles gambiae </i>for malaria epidemiology. Using spatial ABMs, the book includes mosquito (vector) control interventions and GIS as two example applications of ABMs, as well as a brief description of epidemiology modeling. In addition, the authors discuss how to most effectively integrate spatial ABMs with a GIS. The book concludes with a combination of knowledge from entomological, epidemiological, simulation-based, and geo-spatial domains in order to ident
