Malaria elimination modelling in the context of antimalarial drug resistance

Thesis

Introduction

Antimalarial resistance, particularly artemisinin resistance, is a major threat to P. falciparum malaria elimination efforts worldwide. Urgent intervention is required to tackle artemisinin resistance but field data on which to base planning of strategies are limited. The aims were to collect available field data and develop population level mathematical models of P. falciparum malaria treatment and artemisinin resistance in order to d...
