Chikungunya virus in the United States
From 2006 through 2009, 106 cases of chikungunya were iden fied in travelers visi ng or returning to the United States. None of these cases resulted a flag to indicate infec on g f g y fi g g fin local transmission or outbreaks in the United States. a flag to indicate the presence of an agent at its loca on

These imported cases could result in local spread of the virus in the United States and unique x and y coordinates.
These imported cases could result in local spread of the virus in the United States. The map is a fixed 1000 by 1000 cells, all ini alized to the background type. Next, the pools are ini alized. The five pools are ini alized by changing the type of the cells in circular regions around five central points to the
appropriate zone. The outer zone radius is 150 cells, the middle radius is 100, and the inner zone 50. Pointers to cells are stored in five arrays, one for each
pool.
Finally, an array of agents is ini alized. Each agent stores:
a pointer to the cell where it is located, and
a flag to indicate infec on.
TheRunLoopp Every step, each infected agent is bi en or not bi en, and moves to a neighboring cell. Cells and agents are infected as appropriate.
A random number is generated to determine if a bite occurs. No bite occurs if the agent is in a background cell, or if the random number is greater than
the bite rate for the pool cell the agent occupies. A bite does occur if the random number is less than the bite rate for the pool cell occupied by the agent. When
a bite occurs, an infected agent infects an uninfected pool cell it may be occupying, or an uninfected agent is infected by an infected pool cell it may be
occupying. Nothing happens if an infected agent is bi en in an infected pool cell, or if an uninfected agent is bi en in an uninfected pool cell. If a pool cell is
infected, a func on is called to infect all cells in the same pool.
A second random number is generated to determine the next step of the agent in one of four direc ons: up, down, le , or right. If an agent is
determined to move to a posi on occupied by another agent, or a posi on outside the map, then the agent remains in place for that step.

Sample maps, progressing from le to right, show the movement of an infected individual. Ponds are represented by the blue areas, with lighter areas having a lower risk of mosquito bite. Pond loca ons approximately match those used in the program, which used a 1000 x 1000 grid as a map. Here the grid is simplified, with each grid square represen ng ten units of the programming grid. Healthy individuals are green, infected individuals are red. These maps do not represent actual data; they
are designed to show the concepts used in designing the program. Figure 1 A single, randomly selected individual is infected. People begin moving around randomly. The infected individual happens to head into the zone around a pond where the mosquitos live. Figure 2 The infected individual is bi en by a mosquito from the central pond. The mosquito returns to the pond and passes the disease to its offspring, infec ng the pond. Mosquitos from this pond will now infect people when they
bite. Figure 3 A healthy individual who was hanging around the central pond gets bi en and becomes infec ous. Figures 4 & 5 The newly infected individual wanders over to the northeast pond. Figure 6 A mosquito from the northeast pond bites the infected individual there and infects the northeast pond. Figures 7 & 8 A healthy individual enters the area of the infected northeast pond. Figure 9 The healthy individual is bi en and infected.
