18 Questions
What type of clustering-based anomaly detection algorithm is developed in the study?
Unsupervised clustering
What is the primary goal of the anomaly detection system introduced in the study?
To serve as an early warning mechanism for potential malaria outbreaks
What is the primary limitation of the analysis in the study?
Small number of verified outbreaks
What type of analysis is used in the study to identify abnormal malaria activity?
Time series analysis
What is the benefit of the historical average threshold-based anomaly detection method?
It triggers fewer alerts while correctly identifying the same number of verified outbreaks

To enable the Thai malaria surveillance team to utilize anomaly detection algorithms
What is the primary goal of the enhanced early warning system proposed for malaria elimination efforts?
To identify and visualize unusual malaria activity at a provincial level
What is the significance of the year 2013 in the context of Visceral Leishmaniasis?
The first autochthonous canine case of Visceral Leishmaniasis was reported in Brazil
What is the name of the program implemented by the Zoonoses Control Center in Brazil?
Human Visceral Leishmaniasis Surveillance and Control Program
What is the role of the developed anomaly detection algorithms in the context of malaria surveillance?
To optimize integration with the current malaria surveillance infrastructure
What is the specific disease targeted by the proposed early warning system?
Malaria

Thailand
What is the primary concern of public health efforts according to the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2020?
Controlling vector-borne diseases
What is the role of ticks in the transmission of disease-causing pathogens?
They transmit bacteria, viruses, and parasites to mammalian hosts
Which type of mosquito transmits Plasmodium spp.?
Anopheles
What is the process by which vertebrate hosts are infected with Babesia spp.?
Through the bite of an infected hard tick
What is the purpose of epidemiology and surveillance in public health?
