OpenMalaria

Open-source C++ program for simulating malaria epidemiology and the impacts on that epidemiology of interventions against malaria.

OpenMalaria is a microsimulation, individual-based model of Plasmodium falciparum malaria in humans, developed initially for simulating malaria vaccines. The models have been extended to include simulation of the dynamics of malaria in the mosquito vector and capture the delivery and impact of many malaria interventions (including for example, treatment, chemoprevention, and vector control). These models simulate the dynamics of malaria parasitaemia in the course of an infection, of transmission, of immunity, and of the processes leading to illness and death. The system is set up to simulate malaria in village, or district size human populations.
