The risk of zoonotic spillover from reservoir hosts, such as wildlife or domestic livestock, to
people is shaped by the spatial and temporal distribution of infection in reservoir …

Traditional ecological monitoring employs fixed designs, which do not vary over the survey
duration. Adaptive sampling, whereby the data already collected informs a sampling design …

Model-based Geostatistics for Global Public Health: Methods and Applications provides an
introductory account of model-based geostatistics, its implementation in open-source …

Antibodies are unique among biomarkers in their ability to identify persons with protective
immunity to vaccine-preventable diseases and to measure past exposure to diverse …

Background Malaria remains a major challenge in sub-Saharan Africa and Ghana is not an
exception. Effective malaria transmission control requires evidence-based targeting and …

As neglected tropical diseases approach elimination status, there is a need to develop
efficient sampling strategies for confirmation (or not) that elimination criteria have been met …

The problem of choosing spatial sampling designs for investigating an unobserved spatial
phenomenon arises in many contexts, for example, in identifying households to select for a …

Introduction In the context of malaria elimination, interventions will need to target high
burden areas to further reduce transmission. Current tools to monitor and report disease …

Background: Monitoring malaria transmission is a critical component of efforts to achieve
targets for elimination and eradication. Two commonly monitored metrics of transmission …

In this paper, we set out general principles and develop geostatistical methods for the
analysis of data from spatio‐temporally referenced prevalence surveys. Our objective is to …
