Modelling the spatial and zoonotic epidemiology of schistosomiasis in an elimination landscape

This research project focuses on the spatial and zoonotic epidemiology of schistosomiasis in sub-Saharan Africa, under supervision of Dr. Martin Walker and Professor Joanne Webster. This project will entail developing mathematical models, which will be combined with molecular data on parasite population structure, to design surveillance and response strategies to combat schistosomiasis resurgence in communities where elimination is on track.
