Coupling of an agent-based model with a mathematical model of water pond dynamics for studying the impact of animal herd mobility on the Aedes vexans mosquito populations
Fig. 1: General structure of the model. We used the unified modeling language (UML) formalism in the representation of entities
Fig. 2: Flowchart showing the interaction between mosquito agent and animal host agent. This flowchart also shows the behaviors of mosquito agent.
Fig. 3: Flowchart showing the interaction between mosquito agent and animal host agent. This flowchart also shows the behaviors of Host agent
Fig. 4: Coupling of the various agents with a mathematical model allowing water pond agent to update the volume of water.
