Abstract
Given that most mathematical models of schistosomiasis are based on ordinary differential equations (ODE) and therefore do not take into account the spatial dimension of the schistosomiasis spread, we use an agent-based modeling approach to assess environmental impact on the modeling of this phenomenon. We show that taking into account the environment in the modeling process somehow affects the control policies that must be established according to the environmental characteristics of each system that is meant to be studied.
