OutbreakIndividual

The OutbreakIndividual intervention class introduces contagious diseases that are compatible with the simulation type to existing individuals using the individual targeted features configured in the appropriate event coordinator. To instead add new infection individuals, use Outbreak.

Note

Parameters are case-sensitive. For Boolean parameters, set to 1 for true or 0 for false. Minimum, maximum, or default values of “NA” indicate that those values are not applicable for that parameter.

EMOD does not use true defaults; that is, if the dependency relationships indicate that a parameter is required, you must supply a value for it. However, many of the tools used to work with EMOD will use the default values provided below.

JSON format does not permit comments, but you can add “dummy” parameters to add contextual information to your files. Any keys that are not EMOD parameter names will be ignored by the model.

The table below describes all possible parameters with which this class can be configured. The JSON example that follows shows one potential configuration.

Parameter	Data type	Minimum	Maximum	Default	Description	Example
Clade	integer	0	9	0	The clade ID (Clade) of the outbreak infection. Together with the genome ID (Genome) they are a unitary object representing a strain of infection, which allows for differentiation among infections. Values for Clade may range from 0 to Number_of_Clades-1 (set in the configuration file).	{ "Clade": 1 }
Genome	integer	0	16777215	0	The genome ID (Genome) of the outbreak infection. Together with the clade ID (Clade) they represent an infection as a unitary object. Values for Genome may range from -1 to 2Log2_Number_of_Genomes_per_Clade-1	Intervention distribution example: { "Genome": 3 }
Ignore_Immunity	boolean	0	1	1	Individuals will be force-infected (with a specific strain) regardless of actual immunity level when set to true (1).	{ "Intervention_Config": { "Antigen": 0, "Genome": 0, "class": "OutbreakIndividual", "Ignore_Immunity": 0 } }
Incubation_Period_Override	integer	-1	2147480000.0	-1	The incubation period, in days, that infected individuals will go through before becoming infectious. This value overrides the incubation period set in the configuration file. Set to -1 to honor the configuration parameter settings.	{ "Incubation_Period_Override": 0 }
