“…Some initiatives support users on studying environmental phenomena through computer modeling and simulation. Examples include platforms that allow model building through interaction with graphical interfaces and the usage of visual metaphors (e.g., diagrams) [ 78 , 79 , 80 , 81 ]. There are generic frameworks for modeling globally the spread of diseases, such as Spatiotemporal Epidemiological Modeler (STEM) [ 82 ] and Global Epidemic and Mobility Model (GLEaM) [ 83 ], or using connected networks, such as EpiFire [ 84 ].…”

The prevention and control of dengue are great public health challenges for many countries, particularly since 2015, as other arboviruses have been observed to interact significantly with dengue virus. Different approaches and methodologies have been proposed and discussed by the research community. An important tool widely used is modeling and simulation, which help us to understand epidemic dynamics and create scenarios to support planning and decision making processes. With this aim, we proposed and developed DengueME, a collaborative open source platform to simulate dengue disease and its vector’s dynamics. It supports compartmental and individual-based models, implemented over a GIS database, that represent Aedes aegypti population dynamics, human demography, human mobility, urban landscape and dengue transmission mediated by human and mosquito encounters. A user-friendly graphical interface was developed to facilitate model configuration and data input, and a library of models was developed to support teaching-learning activities. DengueME was applied in study cases and evaluated by specialists. Other improvements will be made in future work, to enhance its extensibility and usability.

“…Examples include platforms that allow model building by visual metaphors (eg. diagrams) and interacting with graphical interfaces (North et al 2005, Lima et al 2013, Tisue and Wilensky Lima, Carneiro, Lana, Codeço, Maretto, Medeiros, Silva, Santos, Reis, Coelho, and Monteiro 2004, Muetzelfeldt and Massheder 2003. Despite the existence of generic frameworks for modeling disease spread on the global scale such as STEM (Ford, Kaufman, and Eiron 2006) and GLEAM (Balcan et al 2010), or spread on a connected networks like EpiFire (Hladish et al 2012), we did not found solutions freely available dedicated to dengue modeling and targeting local dynamics at intra-urban scales.…”

Dengue fever represents a great challenge for many countries, and methodologies to prevent and/or control its transmission have been largely discussed by the research community. Modeling is a powerful tool to understand epidemic dynamics and to evaluate costs, benefits and effectiveness of control strategies. In order to assist decision-makers and researchers in the evaluation of different methodologies, we developed DengueME, a collaborative open source platform to simulate dengue disease and its vector's dynamics. DengueME provides a series of compartmental and individual-based models, implemented over a GIS database, that represents the Aedes aegypti's life cycle, human demography, human mobility, urban landscape and dengue transmission. The platform is designed to allow easy simulation of intervention scenarios. A GUI was developed to facilitate model configuration and data input.
