Agent-based model SIT++ source code : Exploring the success of SIT with entomovectoring (boosted SIT) depending on insect pest and biocide characteristics.

A generic model built in Netlogo to explore the features of insect pests and biocides that encourage the success of boosted SIT. The model represents individuals of a same insect species, characterized by variables such as sex (male/female), developmental stage (immature/mature), age, health status. More specific characteristics are attributed depending of their sex. The biocide used for the boosted SIT is defined by transmission routes and induced mortality. The effects of conventional SIT and boosted SIT are compared on the same population to see if the additional aspect of entomovectoring is more effective in the management of the insect species. See the ODD protocol in the associated publication for more details on variables and simulation design.
