Dengue epidemics and human mobility

In this work we explore the effects of human mobility on the dispersion of a vector borne disease. We combine an already presented stochastic model for dengue with a simple representation of the daily motion of humans on a schematic city of 20×20 blocks with 100 inhabitants in each block. The patter...
