Agent-Based Modelling and Disease: Demonstrating the Role of Human Remains in Epidemic Outbreaks (Short Paper)

Authors: Huixin Liu and Sarah Wise

Abstract

Hemorrhagic fever viruses present a high risk to humans, given their associated high fatality rates, extensive care requirements, and few relevant vaccines. One of the most famous such viruses is the Ebola virus, which first came to international attention during an outbreak in 1976. Another is Marburg virus, cases of which are being reported in Equatorial Guinea at the time of writing. Researchers and governments all over the world share a goal in seeking effective ways to reduce or prevent the influence or spreading of such diseases. This study introduces a prototype agent-based model to explore the epidemic infectious progression of a simulated fever virus. More specifically, this work seeks to recreate the role of human remains in the progression of such an epidemic, and to help gauge the influence of different environmental conditions on this dynamic.
