Use of GIS to Predict Vector Borne Disease Outbreaks

Currently, we received limited support to conduct field-testing of malaria outbreak prediction model only at one site in India. We need to conduct field-testing in at least two other sites to develop a preliminary model of disease outbreak prediction. This funding will enable us to undertake these field tests. We plan to undertake research on issues involved in large-scale development and use of this model. We also plan to develop a preliminary understanding of using this model for other vector borne disease including Dengue, Yellow fever, and Chikungunya. We need financial support for conducting field studies, which include travel and lodging and a stipend to cover our time of preparatory research at Berkeley. We estimate that we would require approximately $10,000 for the above-mentioned activities. Learn more
