An improved generic schema for high fidelity data linkage and sample tracing across complex multi-assay medical entomology studies (opens in new tab)

Evidence-based decision making on malaria vector control strategies increasingly rely on triangulation of data which requires informatics systems that can integrate data from complex, multi-stage studies involving mosquitoes. This manuscript describes a performance evaluation of an extended version of the generic schema underpinning the VBDs360 platform, specifically improved to accommodate multiple distinct entomological assays spanning the field, insectary, and laboratory. The utility of th...
