Condiciones ambientales afectan salud humana en la selva amazónica
This fact sheet describes the LUCIA project, which developed and validated an Agent-Based Model (MBA) to simulate malaria transmission in the western Amazon. The research demonstrates how land use changes—such as deforestation, mining, and urbanization—combined with climate dynamics, increase human vulnerability to infectious diseases transmitted by vectors like the Anopheles darlingi mosquito.
