Estimating the Impact of Seasonal Migration on Malaria Transmission in Ethiopia

Objectives

The objectives of this sub-projects are to:

  1. Quantify long term seasonal workers between all districts in Ethiopia
  2. Quantify seasonal migration in districts with history of seasonal migration
Principal Institution

PATH, United States

Principal Investigators / Focal Persons

Amir Siraj

Rationale and Abstract

Large movements of seasonal workers between areas of low and high malaria risk have complicated efforts to reduce the malaria burden in both source and destination regions. Efforts to estimate the impact of these movements on transmission intensity have been hampered by a lack of data at spatial resolutions relevant to malaria control.
