A highlight of the week was visiting the One Health Building at the University of Pretoria with Dr Dina Coertzen. Meeting with Professor Tiaan de Jager and Dr Ashley Burke at the UP Institute for Sustainable Malaria Control (ISMC) allowed for a critical exchange of ideas. Our discussions focused on integrating ML and climate data into entomological and clinical frameworks, ensuring the predictive models are grounded in the biological realities of malaria transmission.
