Project Objectives

The epidemiological study was designed to provide data on baseline malariometric parameters valuable for future intervention studies aimed at validating disease control tools. The specific objectives include conducting a population census of the study area, determining the malaria prevalence rates and density in cross sectional surveys, helminth and malaria co-infection rates and densities, number of episodes per year in cohort longitudinal studies, vectors transmitting parasites, their dynamics and inoculation rates, natural immune responses to malaria parasite exposure and prevalence of some genetic traits that protect against malaria.
