The evaluation of stochastic mosquito-borne infectious disease mapping model in Malaysia (IR)

The main aim of this research is to propose an alternative method for estimating relative risk of mosquito-borne infectious disease mapping in Malaysia. This estimation method is based on stochastic SIR-SI model (susceptible-infectiverecovered for human populations; susceptible-infective for mosquit...
