Spraying to prevent malaria

*********************************
There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Spraying to prevent malaria

In collaboration with the World Health Organization, Georgia Tech systems engineers developed computer models to optimize the distribution of non-pharmaceutical interventions for malaria, such as sprays. The models provide the country with a time-based deployment plan, including details on what geographic zones to target for spraying, when to deploy in each zone, how many people can be protected in each zone, what resources should be located at the distribution centers, and the opening and closing dates of the distribution centers.
