What Are Some Applications of ABMs in Epidemiology?
ABMs have been used in various epidemiological studies, such as:
Pandemic Planning: Simulating the spread of diseases like influenza and COVID-19 to inform public health policies and interventions. Vector-Borne Diseases: Modeling the spread of diseases transmitted by vectors like mosquitoes, such as malaria and dengue fever. Chronic Disease Management: ABMs can also be used to study the spread of non-infectious diseases, such as diabetes and obesity, within populations.
