Biological particles play important roles in all aspects of our life. Studying their features and behavior is of interest for a wide variety of applications, from engineering to medicine. Among other biological particles, the human red blood cell attracts special attention due to its importance for human health. In this paper modeling aspects of computer simulations of light scattering from red blood cells and some numerical methods suitable for such modeling are discussed. Recent calculation results based on an improved numerical scheme of the Discrete Sources Method are presented in comparison with results of the Discrete Dipole Approximation.
