About the instructor:
Clara Champagne is an infectious disease modeller with a background in applied mathematics, statistics and public health. She works within the Analytics and Intervention Modelling group at Swiss TPH, where she develops models designed to inform decisions regarding malaria control interventions.
Her recent work focuses in particular on insecticide-treated bed nets, metapopulation models for prioritising interventions, and interventions targeting Plasmodium vivax. She also actively contributes to modelling work carried out in support of national malaria control programmes.
Event Summary
During AMMnet’s Francophone seminar, Clara Champagne explored how modelling can bridge the gap between the efficacy of insecticide-treated nets under experimental conditions and their impact in operational settings. The presentation examined factors influencing their effectiveness, including local Anopheles species, resistance to pyrethroid insecticides, net durability, access, use and distribution. Through practical examples, she illustrated how modelling can account for these factors to support decisions on malaria prevention and control.
