ZikaModel

ZikaModel is an R package for running the Zika transmission model developed at Imperial College London using R odin.

The transmission model is a metapopulation model which includes the dynamics of the Aedes aegypti mosquito vector and the age-stratified human host populations. The model which has a stochastic and a deterministic version, simulates also the effect of seasonality and the impact of control strategies, such as the release of Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes and child vaccination.

For details of the original transmission model please see the original article where the model is published.

Installation

You need to first install the odin R package.

Once odin is installed, you can install the ZikaModel package with the following steps:

• First install devtools, if you don't already have it

install.packages("devtools")
library(devtools)

• Then, in a fresh R session, install the ZikaModel package

devtools::install_github("lorecatta/ZikaModel")

• Load and attach it

library(ZikaModel)

Running the base model

Check out this vignette on how to run the deterministic base version of the model.
