The leading malaria vector control strategies (ie, long-lasting insecticidal nets and indoor
residual spraying) can reduce indoor transmission, but these tools alone are insufficient to …

Malaria epidemiology around the world is changing at a rapid pace due to intensive malaria
control campaigns in the past decade. In spite of major progress in malaria control, new …

The Ross-Macdonald model has exerted enormous influence over the study of malaria
transmission dynamics and control, but it lacked features to describe parasite dispersal …

Malaria, caused by a single-cell parasite and transmitted by blood-feeding mosquitoes, is
one of the world's leading infectious diseases in terms of both morbidity and mortality. While …

Background Malaria is a major public health issue in much of the world, and the mosquito
vectors which drive transmission are key targets for interventions. Mathematical models for …

In malaria endemic regions, dispersal of mosquitoes from one location to another searching
for resources for their survival and reproduction is a fundamental biological process that …

Background The modeling of malaria vector mosquito populations yields great insight into
drivers of malaria transmission at the village scale. Simulation of individual mosquitoes as …

There is renewed interest in global malaria elimination but this task likely requires new
technologies, information, drugs, interventions and a better understanding of the systems …

This work presents research for the Ph. D. degree in Computer Science and Engineering. It
consists four distinct research parts. The first one is presented as a complete case study …

Mosquitoes, which evade contact with long-lasting insecticidal nets and indoor residual
sprays, by feeding outdoors or upon animals, are primary malaria vectors in many tropical …
