Malaria is the ninth largest cause of global human mortality and morbidity [1, 2]. About 3.3
billion people in 99 countries are reported to be at risk of malaria [3]. Each year, it kills …

Agent-based models (ABMs) are used to model infectious diseases and disease-
transmitting vectors. Malaria is a deadly infectious disease in humans, transmitted by …

There is renewed interest in global malaria elimination but this task likely requires new
technologies, information, drugs, interventions and a better understanding of the systems …

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 …

Abstract Background Agent-based models (ABMs) have been used to model the behaviour
of individual mosquitoes and other aspects of malaria. In this paper, a conceptual …

Malaria, the serious public health threat calls integrated control interventions to stop
interactions between humans and mosquitoes. Several factors are responsible for malaria …

Background Malaria is a major public health issue in much of the world, and the mosquito
vectors which drive transmission are key targets for interventions. Mathematical models for …

Abstract Background: In their behavior, Africans generally pour dirty water around their
homes. This dirty water becomes stagnant at a given moment, which hence constitutes …
