Seminar Summary

This seminar was a series of short talks from Michael White, Chris Drakeley, Jessie Khaki, and Isaac Quaye on quantitative and serological approaches to achieving elimination for malaria and other diseases. Talks covered novel diagnostics and their use at population level as well as the use of geospatial and mathematical models to assess risk and evaluate intervention packages.

  • Michael White, Institut Pasteur, France: Novel Diagnostics for Serological Surveillance and Treatment of Malaria
  • Chris Drakeley, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, UK: Case scenarios for malaria serology
  • Jessie Khaki, Lancaster University, UK: Model-based geostatistics for disease mapping and its application to Soil-Transmitted Helminths control in sub-Saharan Africa
  • Isaac Quaye, Pan African Vivax and Ovale Network, Regent University College of Science and Technology, Dansoman, Accra, Ghana: Use of modelling to define and refine interventional packages at the local and national levels towards malaria elimination
