SUMMARY:David Sprott Distinguished Lecture by Professor Peter Diggle\,\nLan
 caster University
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\nA TALE OF TWO PARASITES: HOW CAN GAUSSIAN PROCESSES
  CONTRIBUTE TO\nIMPROVED PUBLIC HEALTH IN AFRICA?\n\nIn this talk\, I will
  rst make some general comments about the role of\nstatistical modelling i
 n scientic research\, illustrated by two\nexamples from infectious disease
  epidemiology. I will then describe in\ndetail how statistical modelling b
 ased on Gaussian spatial stochastic\nprocesses has been used to construct 
 region-wide risk maps to inform\nthe operation of a multi-national control
  programme for onchocerciasis\n(river blindness) in equatorial Africa. Fin
 ally\, I will describe\nwork-in progress aimed at exploiting recent develo
 pments in mobile\nmicroscopy to enable more precise local predictions of c
 ommunity-level\nrisk.\n
