Core to our modelling work is the development and use of an individual-based model of malaria transmission dynamics known as OpenMalaria. This model is an open-source tool for simulating the dynamics of malaria transmission and epidemiology, and the impact of interventions on health and economic…
During the current COVID-19 pandemic governments have imposed varying social-distance measures, and since 2021 vaccines, to reduce infection incidence and associated disease burden of coronavirus infectious disease (COVID- 19). Guidance is needed to design optimal profiles of medical interventions…
There has been substantial progress in reducing malaria transmission in the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS). However progress has stalled with reports of increase in the number of cases, multi-drug resistant malaria and pyrethroid-resistant mosquitoes. The risk of infection is greatest among mobile…
Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are at a crucial point in global policy decision making. Huge investments and global efforts have reduced the burden of these diseases in many of the poorest populations of the world. There are still significant investments required to meet the 2020 goals, laid out…
This project aims to assess how widespread the susceptibility to Plasmodium of insecticide-resistant Anopheles is, and to assess the risk associated with this phenomenon in relationship with human behavioural changes regarding their use of bed nets and insecticides.
