Current projects
NATNAT: Newly Adapted Tools and Network Against Mosquito Borne Disease Transmission
Burnet is partnering to reduce malaria and mosquito-borne diseases in Papua New Guinea (PNG). By generating local evidence, and strengthening leadership and advocacy, we’re driving access, uptake and impact of new vector control tools in PNG and the Pacific.
PAVE PNG: partnership for vivax elimination
Despite reducing the overall burden of malaria in Papua New Guinea, the prevalence of P. vivax remains unacceptably high and is a key barrier in elimination. We’re conducting work to develop a new strategy to treat and cure vivax malaria in Papua New Guinea.
