Eckhoff

 

 

Philip Eckhoff, Ph.D
Research Scientist at Intellectual Ventures

Abstract: At Intellectual Ventures, we have developed a new computational framework to assist in the rational planning of global eradication campaigns with specific focus on malaria. We present a model to estimate the effects of different forms of vector control on malaria transmission, focusing on mosquito population dynamics.  A new model for intrahost malaria infections is also developed with detailed descriptions of parasite intrahost development and human immunology which combine to provide mechanistic explanations of phenomena such as infection duration and adapted response to re-infection.  The integration of these detailed micro-models into a large-scale spatial simulation with individual resolution allows study of many possible combined-intervention malaria eradication campaigns.
