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.
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
ZikaModelpackage
devtools::install_github("mrc-ide/ZikaModel")- Load and attach it
library(ZikaModel)Check out this vignette on how to run the deterministic base version of the model.
