This lab allows you to explore different malaria control strategies given a fixed budget.
Run a compartmental malaria model. Adjust transmission, treatment, and vector control parameters to explore how interventions change disease dynamics.
Manage larval breeding sites across a landscape. Allocate resources for larviciding and environmental management to reduce mosquito populations.
Simulate ACT drug resistance and treatment failure. Explore how partner drug combinations and dosing regimens affect parasite clearance.
Compare malaria screening strategies. Allocate a budget across RDTs, microscopy, and PCR to optimize detection sensitivity and specificity.
Design a malaria vaccine targeting different parasite life stages. Simulate within-host immune responses and evaluate efficacy trade-offs.
