MalCommit - Understanding Sexual Commitment and Early Differentiation of Malaria Transmission Stages (Projects)
https://www.swisstph.ch/de/projects/project-detail/project/malcommit-understanding-sexual-commitment-and-early-differentiation-of-malaria-transmission-stages
The project aims to understand the processes responsible for the differentiation of asexual malaria blood stage parasites into sexual forms. The anticipated results may open up new avenues for the development

life of bednets for malaria control in Tanzania: Attrition, Bioefficacy, Chemistry, Damage and insecticide Resistance. Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) are the front line malaria vector control tool [...] practice for the maintenance of high and cost-effective coverage and to maximise current gains in malaria control. We will make the data available to stakeholders including NMCP and their collaborators:
Understanding heterogeneities in the epidemiology of malaria in Papua New Guinea (Projects)
https://www.swisstph.ch/de/projects/project-detail/project/understanding-heterogeneities-in-the-epidemiology-of-malaria-in-papua-new-guinea
Background Malaria has been endemic across most parts of Papua New Guinea (PNG) at endemicity levels comparable to sub-Saharan Africa. The National Malaria Control Program (NMCP) has managed to substantially [...] impact of malaria control interventions and underlying secular trends. Drivers of change, and reasons for differences between sites will be investigated. 2) Geo-referenced data on clinical malaria cases will [...] ongoing mathematical modelling of heterogeneities in malaria dynamics at...
Estimating the extent, patterns and consequences of heterogeneity in malaria dynamics (Projects)
https://www.swisstph.ch/de/projects/project-detail/project/estimating-the-extent-patterns-and-consequences-of-heterogeneity-in-malaria-dynamics
Background The uneven distribution of malaria is apparent on a small scale, within a single study site or even cluster of houses. Transmission varies with mosquito densities related to breeding sites, [...] relatively high transmission, have been identified. Heterogeneity has implications for many areas of malaria epidemiology, not least the design of intervention strategies. Whilst the existence of heterogeneity [...] heterogeneity, and inform the design of control strategies and the...

Since its inception in 2002 the NETCELL Project has played a key role in supporting the National Malaria Control Programme (NMCP) of the Tanzanian Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, by managing the [...] Insecticide Treated Net (NATNETS) Programme. Over 200 million dollars of international donor funding for malaria prevention have been leveraged for the MoHSW in the past decade, and the NATNETS programme has been [...] focus on technical advice and strategic support; 2) an extension of...
