To improve the (cost-) effectiveness of malaria control and accelerate progress towards elimination, control measures must be tailored to sub-national levels to account for local heterogeneity. The World Health Organization encourages the use of data for stratified implementation of interventions.…

The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (The Global Fund) has commissioned Swiss TPH to evaluate the impact of the Lubombo Spatial Development Initiative 2 (LSDI2) implementation of Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS) by Tchau Tchau Malaria (Goodbye Malaria, TTM) in Southern Mozambique as…

Malaria remains a public health problem in Mozambique, with more than 10 million cases confirmed in 2020 (WHO Malaria Report 2020).

The Mozambique National Malaria Control Program (NMCP) leads the fight against malaria in the country through the development and implementation of National…

Through the High Burden to High Impact (HBHI) response launched by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Roll Back Malaria partnership (RBM), public health modelers have been invited by the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (“the Global Fund”) to support the national…

We developed the AnophelesModel R Package to interface mosquito bionomics, human exposure and intervention effects with models of malaria intervention impact.

The package contains an in-built entomological model of the mosquito feeding cycle and a comprehensive database of mosquito bionomics, human…

OpenMalaria Workflow R Package

The work of the Analytics and Intervention Modelling Group is based on OpenMalaria: an open-source C++ program for simulating malaria epidemiology and the impacts on that epidemiology of interventions against malaria.

OpenMalaria has a very broad range of potential…

Benin is a pioneer in the fight against infectious diseases, with an integrated approach to eliminate HIV, tuberculosis and malaria and using digital tools to support the planning and implementation of interventions (Rock Aïkpon et al. 2020).

The Analytics and Intervention Modelling group (AIM) has…

The Swiss TPH team has developed a model for Plasmodium vivax transmission to support decision-making and advocacy in countries where this parasite is dominant. This compartmental model accounts specifically for the liver stages of P. vivax malaria and it has recently been refined to include…

The demand for geographic information systems (GIS) and related tools is increasing among public health decision-makers, as the utility is being recognized and both methodological innovations and computational capacity evolve. Simulation studies of optimal geographical placement scenarios for health…
