The project couples temperature-dependent mosquito dynamics to a spatial reaction–diffusion model. Its experiment matrix is synthetic: it supports comparisons under controlled assumptions, not a forecast for Macau or another specific city.
A small mathematical core
A spatial compartment can be written schematically as
where diffusion represents local movement and collects transmission terms that depend on hosts, vectors, and temperature. Long-range dispersal adds a nonlocal process.
How to read the output
The useful question is whether a comparison remains stable when resolution, step size, or uncertain parameters change. The repository therefore includes numerical verification, tests, and sensitivity runs. These establish implementation confidence; empirical calibration is a separate task.
