How Can Data and Technology Aid in Malaria Eradication?
Advancements in data collection and technology play a critical role in malaria eradication efforts:
Geographic Information Systems (GIS): GIS tools help map malaria incidence and mosquito habitats, facilitating targeted interventions. Mobile health (mHealth): Mobile applications enable real-time reporting and tracking of malaria cases, improving surveillance and response. Genomic studies: Research on the genetic makeup of Plasmodium parasites and Anopheles mosquitoes can identify new targets for drugs and vaccines.
