Japanese Encephalitis


Title of the Project:	A Novel Forecasting Software Tool to Predict the PMH (Per Man Hour) density of Japanese encephalitis Vectors in Andhra Pradesh (In collaboration with CRME Madurai).
Sponsor of the Project:	Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR), New Delhi, INDIA
Period:	Project duration: 2002-2005
Patent / Copyright:	The software is capable of predicting the PMHD of mosquitoes one year in advance. The software is platform independent and will run on any system. The algorithm tries to calculate the mosquito population which can occur with maximum likelihood. In our algorithm instead of using the traditional probability values for each event, we use a measure of the likelihood of the occurrence of an event. More about JEBNET
