Enhancing Disease Forecasting in the Amazon

In 2022, GLIDE launched its second iteration of the Falcon Awards for Disease Elimination – The Climate Edit in an effort to expand the evidence base on the intersection between climate change and infectious diseases. Nine projects were selected to conduct six-month formative research projects, the results were presented in a Compendium of Research in 2023. (https://glideae.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/FINAL-FADE4C-Compendium-of-Research.pdf)

The study aimed to enhance the adoption of infectious disease surveillance methods, including monitoring of vector breeding sites, in a tropical rainforest setting, through climate-based forecasting models to aid local policy-making. The study also established robust protocols for data collection and processing to develop early warning systems for the Spread of vector-borne diseases in the Peruvian Amazon.
In partnership with: Health Innovation Laboratory, Institute of Tropical Medicine, UPCH, Lima, Peru
