Important features include:

  • Multi-node network used to represent regions of the Democratic Republic of the Congo at the 10km scale.

  • Network infectivity contagion transfer between nodes.

  • Spatially and temporally varying rates of routine immunization.

  • Acquisition-transmission covariance.

  • Pre-specified calendar of supplemental immunization activities (SIAs).

  • Maternally derived immunity.

  • Overdispersion of the infection rate.

  • Maximum simulation duration based on elapsed time.

  • Weighted agents to represent multiple individuals per agent.

  • Age-based immunity initialization to approximate endemic transmission.

  • Infectivity reservoir to represent persistent exogeneous importation.
