Malaria Control (beendet)/en
| Languages |
The Malaria Control Project deals with the modelling of clinical epidemiology and the natural history of Plasmodium falciparum malaria. There are four different types of Malaria known, which are quite different concerning the course as well as its spreading. However, Plasmodium falciparum is arguably the most dangerous pathogen of all. Actually, it is a parasite, which is passed on to humans by female mosquitoes. The projects aim is to obtain valuable intel on how the pathogen spreads, in order to systematically fight this disease.
This is the first of Africa@home's projects using the BOINC-client. The scientific basis was described in a special edition of The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. The published papers (respectively their summaries) can be found here.
Note: This project does not develope any vaccines. Instead the pathogen-spread is simulated.
