WHAT IS IT?

This is a very simple model of a vector transmission of Malaria in a room of X number of humans with X number of mosquitos.


HOW IT WORKS

The mosquitos will randomly fly about until they are within a certain attraction radius of a human and then they will fly directly to that human and bite them. After this there will be a certain period in which this mosquito will not bite a human.


HOW TO USE IT

Select the number of humans and mosquitos, the attraction radius you'd like the mosquitos to work in, and the length of time you'd like the digestion to go on for.
