My research project
Mathematical models and economic evaluation for cystic echinococcosis control and eliminationThis project will inform the most efficient portfolio of surveillance options and interventions towards cystic echinococcosis (CE) control and elimination, accounting for the varying risks, disease control capacities, and risk preferences across geographies. The project is novel in the joint application of mathematical modelling and economic evaluation at fine spatial resolutions, and in the active elicitation of risk attitudes towards CE and related control measures to formally model their impact on the uptake of interventions and their efficacy.
