Update README.md

ABM-EpiVector v1.0

A MATLAB toolbox for simulating the epidemiological dynamics of vector-borne diseases using an agent-based model. This tool integrates SEIR and SEI compartmental models to represent disease transmission between humans and vectors in a spatially structured environment.

Key Features

• Agent-based simulation of human and vector populations.
• SEIR model for humans and SEI model for vectors to track infection states over time.
• Dynamic spatial maps for movement behaviors based on environmental conditions.
• Customizable parameters for infection probabilities, vector lifecycles, and human mobility.
• Visualization tools for generating time-series plots, state evolution graphs, and GIF animations.

Simulation Overview

The simulation progresses in daily time steps, where:
-Vectors move, bite, and infect hosts.
-Humans commute between home and work locations.
-Infection dynamics are updated based on interaction probabilities.

Users can define initial population conditions, modify transmission parameters, and extract data for epidemiological analysis.
