Abstract
A method and system for analyzing an infectious disease uses computer based simulation engines. The method and system utilizes at least two computer-based simulation engines of the transmission of the infectious disease. The transmission of the infectious disease is analyzed as a function of the first and second computer-based simulation engines.
