EEOS-Malaria is build upon 2 city cases: Dakar (Senegal) and N’Djamena (Chad).
The construction process of the risk maps is initiated and validated on Dakar site, based on the impressive database of field and remotely-sensed data collected by IRBA and the Laboratory of Aerologie. The transferability of the method is tested on N’Djamena.
IRBA and Armed Forces Staff are the target users of the developed services.
