The ITM Annual Colloquia
The Institute of Tropical
Medicine Antwerp (ITMA) organises each year an international colloquium on a
topical subject in global health. It brings together an interdisciplinary
audience of scientists, experts and professionals from North and South, and
aims at providing an updated overview of the topic as well as recommendations
for improved practices and policies.
Since 2005, the venue of these
annual meetings alternates between the ITM in
Background
During the last decade, the
Malaria has not yet disappeared,
however. In remote and forest settings the transmission rates are still high,
as a result of complex interactions between vectors, parasites and humans.
Objective
The colloquium will review these
experiences and challenges, with as main objectives to
- review the current situation
- identify remaining knowledge gaps
- formulate strategies for the
consolidation and extension of the achievements
- optimise measures to roll back forest
and border malaria
- examine ways to contain the spread of
multi-drug and insecticide resistance.
Scientific programme
The
colloquium will cover the following topics:
·
Current malaria situation in the countries (
·
Vectors:
o
Biodiversity, behaviour, distribution
o
Insecticide resistance
o
Control methods and strategies
·
o
Risk factors
o
Intervention strategies
o
Cross-border problems
·
Case management:
o
Drug resistance
o
The role of the private sector
o
Community-based monitoring
o
Health information systems
·
Socio-cultural aspects:
o
Migration and mobility patterns
o
Perception of malaria, its treatment and prevention
o
Compliance and health seeking behaviour
·
Monitoring and evaluation
The colloquium will be followed
by a workshop (6-8 December 2007) on the role
of social sciences, especially anthropology in malaria control. The workshop is
fully booked and registration has been closed.
Registration
If you wish to participate, please fill in the online registration form. There is no
registration fee but you can only
attend if you have registered. Final acceptance of your
registration will be based on a proven link with the colloquium topics. Lunch and one dinner
