PlasmoSim
PlasmoSim is an R package for simulating both epidemiological and genetic data from a simple model of Plasmodium falciparum transmission. The model itself is fairly lightweight, which speeds up computation times and in turn allows us to model multiple demes (partially isolated sub-populations) connected by migration. This allows us to explore interesting spatial questions relating to patterns of P. falciparum genetic structure.
All documentation, including installation instructions and tutorials, are on the PlasmoSim website.
