Abstract


Multiagent Simulations have been successfully employed in the studies of population behavior. We present a brownian agent approach for simulating the Schistosomiasis infection. Early results suggest that the proposed model describes relevant aspects of the infection conditions.
Keywords: Simulation, schistosomiasis, brownian agents, contagion
