In 2017, this led WHO to establish elimination […]
Malaria is a serious tropical disease that causes thousands of deaths every year, yet it is both treatable and preventable. Many countries are currently in the process of trying to rid themselves of this deadly disease. Cambodia is one such country, and Pengby Ngor, a young Cambodian scientist and a member of TDMODNET is at […]
The infection Analytics team at UNSW Sydney is seeking a post-doc / research fellow in mathematical biology, to model infection dynamics in malaria infection. The Infection Analytics Program at the Kirby Institute is an interdisciplinary team including applied mathematicians, physicists, and computer scientists, who collaborate widely with around 30 experimental groups around the world to […]
The demographic structure of populations in both more developed and less developed countries is changing: increases in life expectancy and declining fertility have led to older populations and smaller households. The implications of these demographic changes for the spread and control of infectious diseases are not fully understood. While reasonable over short time frames, for example […]
