emodpy_malaria.interventions.common module

This module contains functionality common to many interventions.

emodpy_malaria.interventions.common.MalariaDiagnostic(camp, Measurement_Sensitivity, Detection_Threshold, Diagnostic_Type)

Add a malaria diagnostic intervention to your campaign. This is equivalent to MalariaDiagnostic.

Parameters

  • camp – The emod_api.campaign object to which the intervention will be added.

  • Measurement_Sensitivity –

    The number of microliters of blood tested to find single parasite/gameotcyte in a traditional smear (corresponds to inverse parasites/microliters sensitivity). This is similar to Parasite_Smear_Sensitivity and Gametocyte_Smear_Sensitivity in the config used for reports, but this is for this instance of the diagnostic. In the following equation, if measurement is larger than Detection_Threshold a positive diagnosis is made:

    measurement = float(1.0/Measurement_Sensitivity*GetRng()->
              Poisson(Measurement_Sensitivity*true_parasite_density))

    Used only when Diagnostic_Type is set to BLOOD_SMEAR_PARASITES or BLOOD_SMEAR_GAMETOCYTES.

  • Detection_Threshold – The diagnostic detection threshold for parasites, in units of microliters of blood.

  • Diagnostic_Type –

    The type of malaria diagnostic used. Possible values are:

    • BLOOD_SMEAR_PARASITES

    • BLOOD_SMEAR_GAMETOCYTES

    • PCR_PARASITES

    • PCR_GAMETOCYTES

    • PF_HRP2

    • TRUE_PARASITE_DENSITY

    • FEVER

Returns

The diagnostic intervention event.

emodpy_malaria.interventions.common.AntiMalarialDrug(camp, Drug_Type, ctc=1.0)

Add an antimalarial drug intervention to your campaign. This is equivalent to AntimalarialDrug.

Parameters

  • camp – The emod_api.campaign object to which the intervention will be added.

  • Drug_Type – The name of the drug to distribute in a drugs intervention. Possible values are contained in Malaria_Drug_Params.

  • ctc – The cost to consumer.

Returns

The antimalarial drug intervention event.
