Applying novel multi-disciplinary methodologies to accelerate malaria elimination

Abstract

Abstract Focus and outcomes for participants Presented by researchers from the Australian Centre of Research Excellence in Malaria Elimination (ACREME, www.acreme.org.au), the focus of the symposium will be the application of multi-disciplinary epidemiological and statistical approaches to inform the control and elimination of malaria in the Asia-Pacific region. The epidemiology of malaria is complex as it involves multiple mosquito vectors, different malarial species (that require species-specific treatments) and emerging insecticide and antimalarial drug resistance. The symposium will provide an overview of the significance of the changin..
