Abstract
Mosquito is one of the most famous vectors that transmits disease such as malaria by interacting with humans. Analyzing the the microsatellite experimental data from the mosquito blood meal becomes a interesting topic to study. The most common question to be asked would be like "What is the percentage for mosquitoes to interact with two or more than two people?" The simulation was basically designed to answer this question under several different circumstances such as the number of loci analyzed, inbreeding factor, and PCR detection error rate. Moreover, the model also tried to find out how much those factors influenced the accuracy of multiple blood meal probability estimation.
