add_vector_surveillance_event_coordinator(campaign, start_trigger_condition_list, update_period, sample_size, species, gender, count_type, coordinator_name=None, node_ids=None, start_day=0, duration=None, stop_trigger_condition_list=None, survey_completed_event=None)

This function adds a VectorSurveillanceEventCoordinator to the campaign.

VectorSurveillanceEventCoordinator is a coordinator that samples the vector population at a given interval. The vector population sampled is determined by the species and gender parameters. The number of vectors sampled is determined by the sample_size parameter, which defines a distribution from which the sample size is drawn at each sampling event.

The results of the surveillance are passed to the respond() function in dtk_vector_surveillance.py. Surveillance results are two lists: list_data_names and list_data_values. The list_data_names list contains the names of all the alleles present (when CountType.ALLELE_FREQ) or genomes possible (when CountType.GENOME_FRACTION) in the vector population. The list_data_values list contains either the fraction of each of the alleles at its locus of the vectors sampled (when CountType.ALLELE_FREQ) or the fraction of each of the genomes in the vectors sampled (when CountType.GENOME_FRACTION).

The respond() function in dtk_vector_surveillance.py is called each time any VectorSurveillanceEventCoordinator samples the vectors. The respond() function receives the following info from the VectorSurveillanceEventCoordinator: time, responder_id, coordinator_name, num_vectors_sampled, list_data_names, list_data_values You can write any code you want in the respond() function to process the data, using coordinator_name to differentiate between different VectorSurveillanceEventCoordinators if needed. The respond() function returns a list of event names to be broadcast as coordinator-level events at completion of the survey. The events are added by you based on your processing of the sampled vectors. These events are used to trigger interventions in the campaign that will run the next day. The events in the list should correspond to the events used in the campaign or be manually added to the config.parameters.Custom_Coordinator_Events parameter list.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
campaign EMODCampaign

campaign object to which the intervention will be added, and schema_path container

required
start_trigger_condition_list list

List of coordinator-level events. Any of the events in the list will activate the run of vector surveillance intervention. The list cannot be empty. emod_api.interventions.common.py has a function add_broadcast_coordinator_event that sends out coordinator-level events to act as triggers.

required
update_period float

The number of days between the sampling of the mosquito population. If the mosquitoes are sampled on day 1 and the period is 30, then the next sample will be taken on day 31

required
sample_size dict

Distribution that will be used to pick the sample size of the surveillance. Please use emod_api.utils.Distributions to generate the distribution dictionary to pass in. The distribution and values to use for determining the sample size we take of the vector population. If the population is less than this number, then the entire population will be selected.

required
species str

The name of the species to sample the mosquitoes from. This string must be defined by the Name parameter in the config.Vector_Species_Param parameters.

required
gender VectorGender

The sex of the vectors we are sampling. Options are: VectorGender.VECTOR_FEMALE, VectorGender.VECTOR_MALE, VectorGender.VECTOR_BOTH_GENDERS

required
count_type CountType

The type of count to use for the vector counter. Options are: CountType.ALLELE_FREQ, CountType.GENOME_FRACTION.

required
coordinator_name str

The name of the coordinator - this name can be used in the embedded python code to help differentiate between coordinators. It is recommended that this name be unique, but not enforced.

None
node_ids list

The list of nodes whose mosquitoes will be surveyed. The mosquitoes from these nodes will be considered to be one group when sampled. None or [] means sample from all nodes. Default: None

None
start_day int

the day the surveillance coordinator is distributed, it needs to be triggered to run

0
duration int

The time period (in days) that the event coordinator exists after it is distributed at start_time before it expires and is removed from the simulation. On (start_day + duration) day of the simulation, the coordinator will stop running if it's been triggered and will be removed from the simulation. It cannot be activated again. Default: None, meaning the coordinator never expires.

None
stop_trigger_condition_list list

Optional list of coordinator-level events. Any of the events in the list will stop the running of vector surveillance intervention. emod_api.interventions.common.py has a function add_broadcast_coordinator_event that sends out coordinator-level events to act as triggers.

None
survey_completed_event str

String representing coordinator-level event that will be sent out after every time a vector survey runs the respond() function and its resulting events (if any) are sent out.

None
