The African Consortium in Modelling for Effective Vector Control (ACoMVeC), launching ceremony and first workshop took place on Monday, February 13th, 2023 at the Centre for Research in Infectious Diseases (CRID), Yaoundé, Cameroon. The workshop was aimed at strengthening the capacity of stakeholders in mathematical modelling for effective vector control. ACoMVeC is funded by the…
Recent reductions in malaria transmission in Africa are predominantly due to massive use of bednets impregnated with an insecticide chemical called ‘’pyrethroid’’. unfortunately, resistance to this product is threatening the efficacy of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs). To mitigate this risk, novel insecticides such as chlorfenapyr are recommended by WHO to kill these malaria-transmitting mosquitoes. In…
This is a Project funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to the Centre for Research in Infectious Diseases (CRID) with aims at supporting capacity-building efforts in malaria mathematical modeling across sub-Saharan Africa with a specific focus on vector control, to help maximize its impact and reduce malaria burden.
