Treatment also provides community-level benefits by reducing the infectious reservoir. However [...] ent and the extent of health benefits achieved by such care, thus has...
Understanding the human, parasite, vector and environmental interactions driving residual malaria transmission in Papua New Guinea (Projects)
https://www.swisstph.ch/de/projects/project-detail/project/understanding-the-human-parasite-vector-and-environmental-interactions-driving-residual-malaria-transmission-in-papua-new-guinea
The scale-up of malaria control in Papua New Guinea (PNG) has resulted in a significant reduction in the nationwide prevalence and incidence of malaria. However, this effect has not been uniform across [...] address this knowledge gap by: measuring the prevalence and distribution of malaria infection to assess the magnitude of residual malaria at the time of study, studying the Anopheles vectors to characterize local [...] heterogeneity in malaria transmission and the its driving factors is...
PATH - MVI Malaria Vaccine Modeling: Service Agreement (Projects)
https://www.swisstph.ch/de/projects/project-detail/project/path-mvi-malaria-vaccine-modeling-service-agreement
Swiss TPH is carrying out simulations of the public health impact of the RTS,S malaria vaccine, with the support of PATH-MVI. The work involves simulation of the impact of adding vaccines in the context [...] countries in sub-Saharan Africa, taking into account contextual factors such as the distributions of malaria transmission intensities. Vaccine profiles are based on field data from Phase III trials of RTS,S
