This paper presents a multilevel simulator for a hierarchical celullar automata with applications in epidemiology, describing some particular experiments and general capacities of the model. In the particular example of the spreading of an infectious disease between children, various realistic features can be modeled with this tool. Taking into account the recent outspreading of various dangerous epidemics, the tool proposed here can be very useful for development of health strategies in fighting these epidemics, mainly because it can be easily configured for different landscapes and for the configuration of a particular city.
