Proposed malaria research:
Mathematical modelling approaches towards malaria elimination in varying ecological zones of Ghana

Malaria is perennial in all parts of Ghana, and this is coupled with seasonal variations across the varying ecological zones. The research will focus on developing mathematical models tailored to address the impact of climate change and malaria transmission in Ghana’s ecological zones purposely to support the drive towards malaria elimination in the country.
