The application of evolutionary medicine principles for sustainable malaria control: a scoping study (2016)
Journal Article
Ocampo, D., & Booth, M. (2016). The application of evolutionary medicine principles for sustainable malaria control: a scoping study. Malaria Journal, 15(1), Article 383. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12936-016-1446-8

Background Current interventions against malaria have significantly reduced the number of people infected and the number of deaths. Concerns about emerging resistance of both mosquitoes and parasites to intervention have been raised, and questions re...

Combining process-based and correlative models improves predictions of climate change effects on Schistosoma mansoni transmission in eastern Africa (2016)
Journal Article
Stensgaard, A., Booth, M., Nikulin, G., & McCreesh, N. (2016). Combining process-based and correlative models improves predictions of climate change effects on Schistosoma mansoni transmission in eastern Africa. Geospatial Health, 11(1s), Article 406. https://doi.org/10.4081/gh.2016.406

Currently, two broad types of approach for predicting the impact of climate change on vector-borne diseases can be distinguished: i) empirical-statistical (correlative) approaches that use statistical models of relationships between vector and/or pat...
