Hi,

I am looking for general explanation of the working ToyInfection
model. Can someone please provide a some *detail* info about what in-
principle is happening in context to biology of the model.

If there is some link on SPARK homepage about similar explanation
about other sample models as well, please let me know.

regards
Rupen

Hi Rupen,

For many of the models, you can see detailed information on them by going to Help --> About model, from the mian window after opening the model. Others have additional information in publications, such as the DFU model, which is a pared down version of the model published in Mi et. al. 2007, [Wound Repair Regen. 15(5):671-82 Agent-based model of inflammation and wound healing: insights into diabetic foot ulcer pathology and the role of transforming growth factor-beta1.]

The Toy Infection model is adapted from a Netlogo model by Gary An, which is publicly available on Netlogo's website. You can find all the details there:

Hope this helps,

One more comment. Right now, there is no 'Help' menu in the latest
SPARK release. It will be added soon. Also, I'm planning to write
short explanations for all sample models.
