Application of mathematical modelling and development of decision support tools for mosquito-borne disease

蚊子传播的疾病影响着澳大利亚和海外数百万人。减少这些疾病的流行需要了解它们的传播、耐药性和气候等外部因素的作用。该项目将使用新开发的数学和统计工具调查疟疾的传播，并改进罗斯河病毒和巴尔马森林病毒以及登革热的报告。项目成果将有助于制定基于证据的政策。

Mosquito-borne disease affects millions of people in Australia and overseas. Reducing the prevalence of these diseases requires an understanding of their transmission, drug resistance and role of external factors such as climate. This project will use newly developed mathematical and statistical tools to investigate transmission of malaria, and improve the reporting of Ross River and Barmah Forest viruses and dengue. Project outcomes will assist the development of evidence based policy.
