Further development of simulations of Plasmodium falciparum interventions and their integration with the needs of stakeholders
Objectives
To exploit the functionality of a stochastic modeling platform (computing platform for comparing, fitting, and evaluating different individual-based stochastic simulations of malaria epidemiology) to provide high quality input to policy and planning processes.
Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute (Swiss TPH), Switzerland
This project will continue to develop new models and model components for modelling of intervention mixes, including vaccines, vector control, and chemotherapy, and also surveillance and response systems. The project will develop methods for bringing together the results of ensembles of multiple models.
In addition, model validations will be carried out, and the models will be integrated with high-quality databases to render them geographically specific.
Specific components of the project will focus on outreach to potential clients, and develop the capacity to anticipate and react promptly to requests from the R&D and malaria intervention communities.
