Description |
|
| More than one-third of the world’s population lives in areas at risk for the transmission of dengue, a vector-transmitted disease that is one of the leading causes of death and illness in the tropics and subtropics. This workshop will bring together public health officials as well as mathematicians, biologists and epidemiologists to promote an interdisciplinary approach to identifying important issues in modeling Dengue transmission dynamics and control; to encourage the establishment of new collaborations for research on Dengue and other infectious diseases with non-human transmission components; and to develop Dengue virus models that incorporate important features such as vector dynamics and control, serotype interactions and immunity, and at the same time allow for model testing/validation. | |
