| Title | Recent Progress and Challenges in Malaria Modeling |
| Organizer | Miranda Teboh-Ewungkem |
| Lafayette College | |
| Abstract | The aim of this minisymposium is to bring together scientists with current research in malaria dynamics to share their work for the common purpose of advancing research in malaria. A second goal is to achieve learning and awareness of what others are currently doing in the field. The speakers are to address recent advances and challenges in malaria modeling and how better and sustainable control schemes may be achieved. Some of these include: the study of the mosquito population, the within-vector dynamics of the malaria parasites, the inclusion of vaccine therapies and also drug resistance in the modeling of the malaria parasite and how these will apply to designing effective control schemes. |
