Agent-based modeling of malaria control through mosquito aquatic habitats management in a traditional sub-Sahara grouping

Abstract Background Africans pour dirty water around their houses which constitutes aquatic habitats (AH). These AH are sought by mosquitoes for larval development. Recent studies have shown the effectiveness of destroying in reducing malaria incidence. An agent-based model is proposed controlling malaria’s incidence through population sensitizing campaigns on harmful effects houses. Methods The environment constituted houses, AH, mosquitoes, humans, and hospital. Malaria’s spread dynamic linked to dynamics humans mosquitoes. mosquito’s represented egg-laying seeking blood. human’s animated hitting destroyed each time 10% starting number. number infected varied from 0-90 led a total 1001 simulations. Results When equal, results approximate as field data. At reduction prevalence tend more towards 0. there no at Conclusions site, disease disappears completely. Global destruction an using many parameters same recommended.
