AVSim - Realistic Simulation Framework for Airborne and Vector-Borne Disease Dynamics
The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the critical need for rapid epidemic trend identification and effective intervention strategies to mitigate disease progression and its socio-economic impact. Concurrent with emerging threats, endemic diseases like dengue continue to strain healthcare systems, particularly in populous, economically challenged nations. This paper introduces AVSim (Airborne and Vectorborne Simulator), an agent-based model designed to provide granular insights for optimizing resource allocation within existing healthcare management frameworks. AVSim leverages realistic human mobility and behavioral patterns to simulate disease propagation within a detailed, scalable environment encompassing homes, schools, hospitals, and commercial venues. Human movement is modeled based on occupational and behavioral patterns, including age-specific activities. The simulator incorporates age- and environment-specific disease outcomes, host-host and host-vector interactions, and multiple disease stages, including mild, severe, and critical phases. Immunity, quarantine, and hospitalization are also modeled. Furthermore, AVSim supports tracing the path of disease spread, providing micro-level insights into transmission dynamics. Implemented in Python, AVSim offers flexibility and extensibility, enabling users to create highly customized scenarios for airborne and vector-borne disease modeling. Case studies demonstrating AVSim's application to COVID-19 and dengue illustrate its potential for generating actionable epidemic insights, thereby enhancing public health planning and response.
