The project aimed to improve the capacity of researchers at Kilimanjaro Christian Medical University College (KCMUC) and the National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR) in Tanzania, in species distribution modeling to improve vector control strategies. Through workshops and remote collaboration, researchers created maps of malaria, and arboviruses vectors, then used results as a teaching case to transfer these skills. Research partners now have access to ArcGIS (geographic information system); and research partnerships between KCMUC, NIMR, University of Ottawa and HealthBridge were strengthened.Text1 digital file (16 p. : ill.)application/pdfenMALARIAARBOVIRUSDENGUEMOSQUITO BORNE DISEASESEPIDEMIOLOGYDISEASE VECTORSREMOTE SENSINGRESEARCH CAPACITYTRAINING PROGRAMMESGEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMSMAPPINGCLIMATE SENSITIVE DISEASESFinal Technical Report
