Integrating geospatial surveillance for infectious diseases with malaria elimination activities in Vietnam [ 2019 - ]

Research Grant

Brief description Infectious diseases are a major health burden in Vietnam and there is a need for surveillance data to target interventions effectively. This project will create a new infectious diseases surveillance system by integrating with current malaria elimination activities. It will test a novel Australian designed blood sampling device. These approaches will provide precise mapping of infectious diseases in 2 remote provinces in Vietnam and predict the impact of interventions to prevent transmission.
