The network-patch model combines the detailed host movement captured by an agent-based spatial network model with a habitat patch model for mosquitoes. The agents in the network model move between locations and activities (network nodes) determined by population, demographics, and host behaviour. We give examples of human activities here. Animal activities could include foraging, drinking, and sleeping locations. Each node is associated with an environmental patch where the local population of infected and uninfected mosquitoes determine the risk of an individual becoming infected while in the patch.
