Presentation Abstract
“Generic Transmission Model For Mosquito-Borne Infectious Diseases”
 
Dr. Jane Labadin
 
Mosquito-borne diseases are extreme health issues. These diseases are transmitted from human to human via the vector, which is mosquito. The knowledge of the possible behavior of its spread will enable the best control measure to be selected. Previous research has shown that mathematical models are used for predicting the spread of diseases over time. However, the proposed mathematical models are for specific disease, whereas mosquito-borne diseases are usually spread by a common vector, giving rise to notable similarities in their transmission. It is thus, worthwhile to formulate a generic model that includes both the temporal and spatial factors. Starting of with an initial model and compared with published result, the model is then refined until simulations are in good agreement with selected literature. The formulated generic model is validated by comparing the numerical simulations with the actual cases of malaria and dengue.
