Adult Mosquito Models

Modularity

This software has a modular design with two components. Modularity in the design is implemented using one of R’s basic basic object oriented methods, the S3 Class.

In a nutshell, there are two dynamical components:

  • The M component describes adult mosquito population dynamics

  • The L component describes aquatic mosquito population dynamics

To develop a modular simulation framework, each dynamical component defines a common set of functions that are called. Each module in the class defines its own S3 method.

M Component

  • setup_adult_model

    • make_Psi_*

    • setup_dispersal_*

    • setup_bionomics_*

    • make_demography_*

  • save_states_M

  • compute_diffs_M

  • init_states_M

  • init_adult_model is a wrapper that calls init_adult_model_*

Modules

There are currently two modules for the adult component:

  • BQ and

  • BQS
