Funder: Danida
About the Project
To investigate malaria and arboviral-vector distribution, abundance, and disease transmission across different socio-ecological strata and geospatial settings of Unguja and Tanga, Tanzania.
- To determine spatial-temporal vector distribution in Unguja and Tanga
- To evaluate spatial-temporal infection of Anopheles and Aedes by Plasmodium species and arboviruses in Unguja and Tanga region.
- To determine spatial-temporal human exposure to Anopheles and Aedes bites (IgG to gSG6-P1 and N-term 34kDa, respectively) during the dry and rainy season in Unguja and Tanga region
- To assess spatial-temporal human exposure to pathogens (malaria and arboviral diseases).
