Decision-making in the built environment as a public health intervention for malaria control — BEDMAC

Published:

Resources: Project brief

This project is building and validating transdisciplinary, cross-continental knowledge on the connections between climate, health and the built environment that can be linked to the risk of malaria transmission in a changing climate.

By evaluating the interplay between the biophysical, human and technological factors that influence malaria transmission risks in Kenya, Mozambique, Nigeria, Panama, Tanzania and the US, this project will underpin the development of transformative disease management strategies related to the built environment that are replicable and scalable. Read more about the project's activities, as well as the anticipated outcomes and impact, in the project brief.
