Sažetak
Mosquitoes are vectors of numerous zoonotic diseases, indirectly causing more than 700 000 deaths annually across the world. With climate change mosquito distribution is changing as well. With mosquitos’ ranges expanding, there is a danger of emergence of novel zoonotic diseases. Therefore, prognostic systems that are able to locate mosquito swarming areas, migration and abundance, are of great research importance. Good stage and age structured models already exist, however they are not spatial. Until recently hardware limitations prevented creation of generalized spatial population models. With parallel processing using general purpose graphic processing units construction of such models is possible. In this work construction of spatial, stage and age structured population model is described, with focus on modelling of mosquito migrations under the influence of wind and spatial attractants. As results, environment dependent simulations of spatial mosquito population dynamics will be presented.
