AedesBA is a detailled and realistic model for the simulation of the life of Aedes aegypti opulations designed at the University of Buenos Aires and specially aimed to the description of populations in temperate climatic zones.
The code evolved during several years and versions and was the object of several papers:

The model is heavely based on experimental research performed at the "Grupo de estudio de mosquitos", EGE-FCEN-UBA.
The current version incorporates diapause effects first reported in
