GMIV (Geospatial Modelling of Insect Vectors)

@GMIVvectormaps

We model the geographical distributions of vectors, their relative abundance, the prevalence of insecticide resistance in their populations, and their behaviour

@Fredros_Inc Agreed, this work should be updated. And updated by experienced geospatial modellers working within this high burden malaria-endemic region. And agreed, it should be expanded to all dominant vectors (An. funestus!) and for that there needs to be sufficient data.

A new paper by Moyes et al: an ensemble model to map districts where deltamethrin resistance in #malaria vectors exceed vital thresholds & where PBO-Nets may b desirable My Qs: Post-2017 data? Dominant local vectors? Right data 4 East & Southern Africa? pnas.org/content/pnas/e…

In this study, we identified gaps in #malaria prevention in Zanzibar to help improve ongoing control efforts. Overall biting risk was low but current ITN use prevent <50% of all exposures. Larval source management & outdoor interventions may improve things malariajournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

‘Under conditions of low transmission intensity, immunity to disease and the fatal consequences of infection appear to continue to be acquired in childhood and faster than anti-parasitic immunity’.
