The aim of this project is to develop a Malaria EWS surveillance tool that can detect unexpected spatiotemporal changes (in both directions) in malaria cases and malaria deaths at sub-district level beyond predetermined thresholds. This work will build on a spatiotemporal EWS designed by Dr Giorgi and colleagues for neighbouring Mozambique As part ofIn this PhD, the candidate will conduct two components, a) a review of malaria EWSs in Sub-Saharan Africa across different transmission levels and the geostatistical methods used in EWS to date b) develop and validate a malaria EWS using novel geospatial techniques to analyse and visualise local upsurges, outbreaks and reductions in case load, build on a spatiotemporal EWS designed by Dr Giorgi and colleagues for neighbouring Mozambique

该项目的目的是开发一个疟疾预警系统监测工具，能够发现在分区一级疟疾病例和疟疾死亡人数中超出预定阈值的意外时空变化（双向）。这项工作将建立在由Giorgi博士及其同事为邻国莫桑比克设计的时空EWS的基础上。作为博士学位的一部分，候选人将进行两个部分，a）审查撒哈拉以南非洲不同传播水平的疟疾EWS以及迄今为止EWS中使用的地质统计方法B）使用新的地理空间技术开发和验证疟疾EWS，以分析和可视化当地的高潮，疫情和病例负荷的减少，建立在Giorgi博士及其同事为邻国莫桑比克设计的时空EWS基础上
