Aedes aegypti, the principal vector, is found in tropical and subtropical climates and adapts well to urban areas, living in and around human habitations. The areas affected by Zika virus lie within areas af...

We present two individual based models of disease systems using PEPA (Performance Evaluation Process Algebra). The models explore contrasting mechanisms of disease transmission: direct transmission (e.g. measles) and indirect transmission (e.g. malaria, via mosquitos). We extract ordinary differential equations (ODEs) as a continuous approximation to the PEPA models using the Hillston method an...
