WP6 - Communication and dissemination; exploitation and translation to market

The objectives are:

  1. Ensure the development of appropriate information dissemination and communication platforms
  2. Ensure the deployment to market of the DMC-MALVEC system

WP5 - Pilot Implementation of integrated diagnostic platform and ICT tools in Africa

The objectives are:

  1. to pilot and implement the integrated LabDisk, DDMS & GAME system in four sub-Saharan countries in Africa
  2. to facilitate evidence based decision making for the optimum use of malaria vector control interventions

WP4 - Setting up the Disease Data Management System (DDMS) and serious GAME

The objectives are:

  1. To adapt and upgrade the DDMS to cater for gene expression data and genomic DNA markers from pooled sampling methods, in conjunction with data from individual or aggregated data sets, and interface with the LabDisk
  2. To set up and configure DDMS in Cameroon and Côte d’Ivoire, using available historical data.
  3. To modify the GAME to include an adaptive platform to accommodate local landscapes and expand the scope of the GAME to include data outputs from the LabDisk as part of the GAME storyboard
  4. To set up and validate the GAME in Zambia and Ethiopia

WP3 - Fully automated multiplex diagnostic platform (LabDisk)

The objectives are:

  1. To design, develop and manufacture the nucleic acid assays to monitor the species ID, the infection status of malaria vector populations as well as their insecticide resistance profile
  2. To design and manufacture the disc cartridge that will perform the in situ sample preparation and sample-to-answer analysis
  3. To assemble and manufacture the reader that will process the disc and provide the diagnostic result
  4. To validate the fully automated and integrated multiplex diagnostic platform (LabDisk) in the lab

WP2 - System specifications, end-user requirements, and quality control

The objectives of this WP are:

  1. to develop a document that defines the technical specifications and end user requirements that have to be met by the system;
  2. design the studies and experiments that are needed to demonstrate the systems performance and efficacy;
  3. develop a risk management plan for the project; and
  4. to assure quality control throughout the project.

 

WP1 - Project management and Coordination

Objectives

To coordinate and manage all aspects of the work and ensure the successful implementation and completion of the project. Specifically to:

  1. Co-ordinate the technical activities of the project to ensure project objectives are met.
  2. Manage resources and administration
  3. Manage and communicate the knowledge produced by the project.
  4. Liaise and interface with European Commission structures and other projects within the Call
