Abstract

It is intended to model the behavior and abundance of Anopheles mosquitoes populations involved in malaria transmission. It will be built models based on agents with the objective of studying the interaction between human and vectorial populations. Different parameters sets will describe distinct scenarios and efficiency of mosquito population control methods will be discussed.
