Abstract: In this paper, we develop an agent-based model (ABM) to study malaria disease transmission. This ABM is a host-vector model where hosts are humans and vectors are the female Anopheles mosquitos, moreover the ABM is spatially explicit integrating aquatic habitats in which mature vectors breed and the immature vectors develop. The dispersals of vectors, hosts and aquatic habitats and the interactions between them are explicit and depend on their geographical locations, the demographic processes for both hosts and vectors and hosts immunity are taken into account.
