This git-repository contains source-code for Open Malaria, a simulator program for studying malaria epidemiology and the impacts of interventions against malaria.

For further documentation, take a look at our wiki.

Also find our code on zenodo, with DOI-references:

Schema documentation for the XML input files can be found on the wiki or in the schema folder (both past releases and development version).

You can download the latest build here: releases

The schema version is specified in the following places (all need to be updated when releasing a new version):

• DocumentLoader.h
• schema/scenario.xsd, demography.xsd, etc. (all XSD files without a version number)
• schema/CMakeLists.txt (namespace-map)
• copy build/schema/scenario_current.xsd to schema/scenario_XX.xsd
• test/*.xml — update http://openmalaria.org/schema/scenario_XX and (optionally) schemaVersion="XX"
• version.txt — needed for build service

In theory the "schema namespace version" doesn't need to match the "OpenMalaria" version and we could update the latter without requiring changes to XML files, however currently we keep both synchronised (in some ways this is simpler).

See INSTALLATION.

mkdir build && cd build
ccmake ..
Press 'c', look over options, press 'c' again and 'g'
make -j4
ctest -j4

For testing and development, ideally use debug builds (which enable some asserts to do with simulation time usage).

This git repository is currently maintained by members of the Infectious Disease Modelling Unit of the Swiss Tropical and Public Health institute and other collaborators.

OpenMalaria is distributed under the terms of the GPL v2 (also see COPYING), or, (at your option) any later version.
