Main objectives

1. Assessment of the feasibility of an early warning system based on ground climate and remote sensing data

2. Assessment of the interaction between Plasmodium spp from different points of view: meta-analysis, modelling, and extended analysis of a large epidemiological dataset

Climate effects on malaria

1. The rate at which mosquitoes develop into adults

2. Frequency of blood feeding

3. Adult mosquito survival

4. The incubation time of parasites in the mosquito

Other considerations related to climate

1. Deforestation

2. Migration and urbanisation

3. Changing human behaviour

4. Natural disaster and conflict

GIS and malaria

Sipe (2003) reviewed the GIS and malaria literature and divided the publications into the five categories outlined below:

1. Mapping malaria incidence/prevalence

2. Mapping the relationships between malaria incidence/prevalence and other potential related variables

3. Using innovative methods of collecting data such as remote sensing (e.g., GIS)

4. Modelling malaria risks

5. General commentary and reviews of GIS used in malaria control and research

Modelling of malaria (1)

1. Modelling of the abundance of vectors

2. Modelling of the frequency of malaria cases/infections

Research setting (7) Health System

• Rural health centres– Trained health workers– Microscopists– GPs

• Malaria Surveillance system– Active: follow-up of cases up to one year, febrile people and their

families– Passive: case finding in all rural and urban health centres free of

charge– Private sector does not have access to malaria drugs, it refers all

cases to public sector

• Reporting system: weekly report to the district centre• Supervision: An external quality control scheme is in place

Research setting (8) Treatment Of Malaria

• GPs Prescribe medicine– P.falciparum: chloroquine (3 days) + primaquine (with

the second dose of chloroquine) – P.vivax: chloroquine (3 days) + primaquine (weekly

does for eight weeks, or daily dose for two weeks)

• Health works supervise that patients take drugs completely, also take follow-up slides

Objective

Assessment of the feasibility of an early warning system

based on ground climate and remote sensing data

Data Collection (1)

Surveillance malaria data between 1994 and 2002– Age– Sex– Village– Date of taking blood slides– Plasmodium species

Data Collection (2)

The ground climate data (1975-2003) from the synoptic centre in Kahnooj City

– Daily temperature– Relative humidity– Rainfall

Data Collection (3)

• GIS maps and RS data:

– Electronic maps of Kahnooj contain the borders, roads, villages and cities. The map scale was 1:50,000 in Arcview format

– Landsat data with 30x30m spatial resolution in January 2001, contained NDVI

– NOAA-AVHRR data with 8x8km spatial resolution and 10 day temporal resolution from 1990 to 2001, contained NDVI and LST

– DEM images with 1x1km resolution (National Imagery and Mapping Agency of United State of America, http://geoengine.nima.mil/)

Statistical methods (1)

• The risk of disease was estimated per village per dekad (10 days)

• Using mean-median smoothing method the temporal variations were explored

• Poisson method was used to model the risk of disease

• Fractional polynomial method was used to maximise the accuracy of models

• The time trend was model by using parametric method (sine and cos)

Statistical methods (2)

•Models predicted the risk of malaria in three distinct spatial levels: district, sub-sub- district (SSD) and village

•Using sensitivity analysis the best gap between the predictors and malaria risk was estimated

•The data were allocated into modelling (75%) and checking parts (25%)

•Using forward method the significant variables were entered in the model. The significance of variables were assessed by likelihood ratio test and pseudo-R2

Statistical methods (3)

• Using sensitivity analysis the best buffer zone around each village was defined

• The number of under and over-estimations and percentages in the final model were computed

• The feasibility of models were assessed by comparing the over and under-estimations of models with their corresponding values based on the extrapolation from the previous month

P. vivax

The observed and predicted risk maps of malaria in 1994-2001 in Kahnooj, the predicted maps were computed based on the mean of altitude three kilometres around villages by using fractional polynomial models

Malaria was rare in villages Malaria was rare in villages with less than 450 or more with less than 450 or more than 1400 meter altitude. than 1400 meter altitude. The maximum risks were The maximum risks were observed in villages with observed in villages with 700 to 900 meters altitude. 700 to 900 meters altitude.

observed fitted

All species

P.falciparum

P.vivax

Comparing the fitted and observed risk maps of local transmission, the fitted values were computed based on seasonality, time trend, history of disease, NDVI and LST

Summary of main findings (1)

1. Ground climate data explained around 80% of P. vivax and 75% of P. falciparum variations one month ahead

2. Comparing to the extrapolation of data from previous month, ground climate data improve the accuracies around 10%; but remote sensing data does not improve

3. The ground climate data are freely available in the filed; therefore, it was concluded that the models based on ground climate data are feasible.

Summary of main findings (2)

4. Ground climate data improved predictions around 10% one month ahead in district level

5. NDVI and LST (with 8x8km resolution) did not improve the prediction

6. Elevation (with 1x1km resolution) improved predictions around 15%

7. NDVI (with 30x30m resolution) did not improve the predictions

Summary of main findings (3)

8. Elevation (with 1x1km resolution) improved predictions around 15%

9. NDVI (with 30x30m resolution) did not improve the predictions

10. P. falciparum and P. vivax models had different parameters.

11. The accuracy of temporal P. vivax variations was less than that in P. falciparum

conclusion

• Ground climate data (which are available free of charge)

improved the model accuracies around 10% and it seems that early warning system based on

these models is feasible
