Exploring Disease Vector Dynamics Under Environmental Change
Valeri Vasquez
As climate change alters the distribution of disease vectors, the prevention of mosquito-borne illnesses like dengue and malaria stand to be complicated by shifting ecological realities. I use DifferentialEquations.jl to gain insights about the population dynamics of disease vectors that are subjected to environmental variation.
