Notes Spatial heterogeneity in demography, RI, SIA schedules and performance. Dose-dependent immunity Different intervention types than human diseases - cull & replace agents Node-as-agent: tracking proportion susceptible, infected, removed rather than agents

(i) Nigeria or Pakistan, e.g., current population
(ii) Nigeria or Pakistan, e.g., at end of 50 year simulation
(iii) Sub-Saharan Africa
(iv) open question for measles
(v) required for accurate vaccine modeling?
(vi) fungible contagion would not require agent migration, identifiable contagion, e.g., polio with viral evolution or vector genetics with identifiable genomes does
(vii) measles could require agent migration depending on impact of age-based mixing
