dismolib is an interactive library for simulating the numerical outcomes of published mathematical epidemiology models including two types of COVID-19 models!
For a disease model in this library, you can:
- Vary the parameters
- Simulate the time course
- Perform stability analysis
- And so much more..
Get Started!
- Select a disease in the
Models
tab
- Understand the flowchart
- Explore the health states/compartments by clicking on Species
- Explore the parameters by clicking on Global Quantities
- Run a Task like Time Course or Stability Analysis
- Download the model as a COPASI (.cps) or an SBML (.xml) file to make changes
- Read more about each model and its analysis in
Documentation
tab
- Download COPASI to create your own models
Models included:
dismolib provides you with coded and calibrated compartmental models for the following diseases:

This web-based interface uses Shiny package in R, the framework from shinyCOPASI and CoRC (a high-level R API for COPASI).
