Rationale and Abstract

This project’s vision is to improve the health of communities that have a high, yet often unrecognised, burden of parasitic vector-borne diseases, particularly malaria and lymphatic filariasis. This collaborative program of research will reduce the burden of these chronic debilitating infections in low-income countries, especially Papua New Guinea, by developing and testing new public health strategies and directly informing policy to target these infections more accurately, efficiently and effectively.
