Project Description
Fever is one of the most common reasons for care-seeking in Thailand, but most causes of fever are never identified. Understanding the burden of what causes fever is vital to design appropriate and targeted public health interventions and reduce disease burden. This project will evaluate methods to efficiently measure the population-level burden of scrub typhus, melioidosis, and typhoid fever from blood antibody levels.
