Lessons from a decade of individual-based models for infectious disease transmission: a systematic review (2006-2015)
Abstract Background Individual-based models (IBMs) are useful to simulate events subject to stochasticity and/or heterogeneity, and have become well established to model the potential (re)emergence of pathogens (e.g., pandemic influenza, bioterrorism). Individual heterogeneity at the host and pathog...
