Inference for entomological semi-field experiments: fitting a mathematical model assessing personal and community protection of vector-control... (Publications)
The effectiveness of vector-control tools is often assessed by experiments as a reduction in mosquito landings using human landing catches (HLCs). However, HLCs alone only quantify a single characteri
Distribution and treatment needs of soil-transmitted helminthiasis in Bangladesh: a Bayesian geostatistical analysis of 2017-2020 national survey data (Publications)
BACKGROUND: In Bangladesh, preventive chemotherapy targeting soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections in school-age children has been implemented since 2008. To evaluate the success of this strategy
