A geostatistical framework to forecast malaria incidence in the context of climatic events KU Leuven
Malaria is a life-threatening disease that causes a significant public health burden worldwide. Malaria incidences show considerable temporal and geographical variation, which can be linked at least partly to climatic conditions. Over the last twenty years, multiple Malaria Early Warning Systems (MEWS) have been developed. These systems primarily focus on short-term incidence predictions, but there is a growing demand to implement long-term ...

Urban Climates and their effect on malaria in Sub-Saharan Africa KU Leuven
For the past decades, urbanization of sub-Saharan cities have been increasing. Up until recently, it was assumed that malaria was a rural disease because imperviousness of cities would avoid the presence of stagnant water, a necessary element for mosquitoes to live. However, as this urbanization is mostly unplanned, new interests have been focusing on understanding how malaria is transmitted across and within cities. The PhD project, by being ...
