This code was written to describe the epidemiology of Cassava Mosaic Virus (CMV).
An epidemiological model was developed to model the spread and control of a CMV strain under two scenarios:
(i) where it invades a region in which another CMV strain is endemic and must compete with it; and
(ii) a region previously unaffected by CMV.
