Abstract EN
Here, the propagation of vector-borne diseases is modeled by using a probabilistic cellular automaton.
Numerical simulations considering distinct spatial distributions and time variations of the vector abundance are performed, in order to investigate their impacts on the number of infected individuals of the host population.
The main conclusion is as follows: in the clustered distributions, the prevalence is lower, but the eradication is more difficult to be achieved, as compared to homogeneous distributions.
This result can be relevant in the implementation of preventive surveillance measures.
