Objective:
The aim of this project is
to provide a predictive model of the effects of land use change on the
|
prevalence
of mosquito-borne disease in Thailand, and a methodology for the
development of similar
|
|
models
for other regions and diseases.*Expected achievements *1. The project will develop a
|
|
standardised
methodology for predicting changes in disease risk that arise as a result
of changes in land
|
|
use.
The methodology will be made freely available to public health authorities,
governments and NGOs.
|
|
It
will be applicable to other regions and in other disease contexts.*2. The
project will improve our
|
|
general
understanding of the effects of human-induced environmental change on human
health,
|
|
|
particularly
with respect to mosquito-borne diseases.
