Agent-based modeling of malaria control through mosquito aquatic habitats management in a traditional sub-Sahara grouping

摘要

Malaria is one of the most dangerous infectious diseases in humans especially in Africa [1]. According to the World Health Organization (W.H.O.), malaria causes a lot of damage today with more than 219 million cases in 2017 worldwide, the majority of cases come from Sub-Saharan Africa [2]. For example, according to this report, we can note that 15 countries in sub-Saharan Africa and India have concentrated almost 80% of the total number of malaria cases in the world. The 10 countries where malaria is most prevalent in Africa are mostly sub-Saharan Africa. For mortality, Africa alone had obtained 93% of the malaria-related deaths with the majority of cases coming from sub-Saharan Africa. Economically, the governments of endemic countries have invested the US 3.1 billion for the elimination and control of malaria in 2017. 3/4 of this amount has been invested in Africa, which is mostly sub-Saharan countries.
