Individual-Based Modeling: Simulating the spatial dispersion of HLB and the effects of epidemic on orchard yield under different scenarios of psyllids migration and sanitary management.

Published in Journal of Citrus Pathology 4(1), 5th International Research Conference on Huanglongbing, Orlando, FL, USA., 2017

This work proposes a simulation model that evaluates the impacts on production and on the citrus plantations depending on the level of infection and the spread of huanglongbing (HLB). We used the Individual-Based Modeling (IBM) methodology.

A simulation model for the dispersion of Huanglongbing (HLB) disease in an orchard.

Published in SOLABIMA - IX Congresso Latinoamericano de Biomatemática, Botucatu, SP, Brazil., 2015

This work studies the impacts on production and on the citrus plantations depending on the level of infection and the spread of HLB. Considering the psyllids invasion of neighboring orchards and scenarios where the orchard performs the sanitary management with removal of symptomatic citrus plants and replanting healthy trees.
