Development and application of theoretical models of Plasmodium transmission to guide malaria elimination efforts [ 2010 - 2013 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Michelle Gatton (Principal investigator) ,  Dr Qin Cheng ,  Prof Richard Price

Brief description There is currently a worldwide endeavour to eliminate malaria but there are few tools available to evaluate the impact of intervention strategies in the Asia-Pacific region. This project aims to address this deficiency by developing simulation models of Plasmodium vivax and mixed species infections, and using these new tools to investigate the likely impact of a variety of intervention strategies including bed nets, improved access to treatment and mass drug administration.
