The new semantics of S-PALPS allows an interpretation of the average behavior of a system as a set of recurrence equations. Recurrence equations are a useful approximation when dealing with a large number of individuals, as it is the case in epidemiological studies. As a case study, we compute a set of recurrence equations capturing the dynamics of an individual-based model of the transmission of dengue in Bello (Antioquia), Colombia.enghttps://v2.sherpa.ac.uk/id/publication/issn/2075-2180PROCESS ALGEBRATRANSMISSIONINDIVIDUALSPOPULATIONSCOLOMBIADYNAMICSSYSTEMSarticle2021-04-12Toro, MauricioPhilippou, AnnaArboleda, SairPuerta, MariaVelez S, Carlos M.10.4204/EPTCS.204.7
