A spatial agent-based simulation model of the dengue vector Aedes aegypti to explore its population dynamics in urban areas
Description: MOMA (Model Of Mosquito Aedes) is a spatially explicit agent-based simulation model of Aedes aegypti female mosquito, the dengue vector. The model aims to produce statistical data on mosquito behaviours and population dynamics that are difficult to obtain through field surveys. This paper gives a detailed description of the model's various components and the overall approach used to calibrate and validate it. Study of simulated mosquito behaviours reveals the model's ability to produce the mosquito's realistic life cycle. [Source: Ecological Modelling]
