Individual-based models of infectious disease dynamics commonly use network structures to represent human interactions. Network structures can vary in complexity, from single-layered with homogeneous mixing to multi-layered with clustering and layer-specific contact weights. Here we assessed policy-relevant consequences of network choice by simulating different network structures within an established individual-based model of SARS-CoV-2 dynamics.
Seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine plus amodiaquine prevents millions of clinical malaria cases in children younger than 5 years in Africa's Sahel region. However, Plasmodium falciparum parasites partially resistant to sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (with quintuple mutations) potentially threaten the protective effectiveness of SMC. We evaluated the spread of quintuple-mutant parasites and the clinical consequences.
Despite substantial declines since 2000, lower respiratory infections (LRIs), diarrhoeal diseases, and malaria remain among the leading causes of nonfatal and fatal disease burden for children under 5 years of age (under 5), primarily in sub-Saharan Africa.
Six weeks, nine community visits and 380 kids – it’s a wrap for round one of the StoP Trial!
Professor Helen Milroy, Embrace's Co-Director, gave the keynote speech at the November event.
The project represents an innovative collaboration between researchers, primarily based at The Kids Research Institute Australia, and 10 government jurisdictions in WA.

Listen Up - Urgent action needed to reduce ear infections
High rates of recurrent infection are a major risk to the health of Aboriginal children and are comparable to those of third world countries.
