MGSurvE

A framework to optimize trap placement for genetic surveillance of mosquito populations

[Press spacebar to move through the slides]

What/How/Why?


What is it?


A Python package that optimizes the positioning of traps to minimize the time it takes us to detect transgenes in heterogeneous landscapes.

How does it work?



It optimizes Markov's fundamental matrix to minimize the time it takes for "random walkers" (mosquitos) to fall into an absorbing state (traps).

Why does it exist?


To aid in the design of surveillance campaigns for gene-drives and insecticide resitance in mosquito landscapes.
