GeneDrive.jl: A decision tool to optimize biological vector control strategies under climate change.

ABSTRACT: This paper introduces GeneDrive.jl, the first software package to optimize operational planning for the biological control of mosquito disease vectors (access: https://github.com/vnvasquez/GeneDrive.jl). Mosquitoes are responsible for transmitting a significant percentage of the global infectious disease burden, a problem being exacerbated as climate change shifts the range and alters the abundance of these temperature-sensitive arthropods. The efficacy and cost of vector control varies according to species, region, and intervention type. Meanwhile, existing computational tools lack the ability to explicitly tailor interventions for local health objectives and resource limitations. GeneDrive.jl addresses this equity and efficiency gap, which is of particular concern for the tropical region
