OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Insights into the epidemiology of dengue and Zika from maps and models
Please arrive 5 minutes before seminar begins to gain entry to the building
The mosquito-borne viral diseases of dengue and Zika are one of the fastest growing public health threats in the tropics. Mathematical models that describe how these diseases are spread are powerful tools for understanding their global emergence and their impact on affected populations. In this talk I will show how spatial models fit to epidemiological data have allowed us to better understand ZIKV outbreaks, improve our understanding of the burden they impose in endemic areas and help us better plan for future spread.
