The Malaria Host Interactions Unit (MHIU) is studying the molecular interface between malaria parasites and their human host. Recent findings revealed the existence of intimate links between parasite
Electromagnetic fields exposure monitoring in Switzerland (Projects)
https://www.swisstph.ch/fr/projects/project-detail/project/electromagnetic-fields-exposure-monitoring-in-switzerland
Use of electricity is accompanied with extremely low frequency (ELF) magnetic and electric fields. Communication devices are emitting radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF). Thus, the populati
Core Malaria Modelling (Projects)
https://www.swisstph.ch/fr/projects/project-detail/project/core-malaria-modelling
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
