Now, researchers from the US and Australia are launching a field evaluation in Vietnam to see whether a new early-warning platform can support earlier interventions against a disease that WHO says puts nearly half the world's population at risk. Southern Cross University (Aus) is leading the second phase of this multi-year collaboration, working alongside the University of Queensland (Aus), Yale University (USA) and Vietnam's National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology. This phase has focused on translating predictive modelling into E-Dengue* - an open-source, user-friendly software system tailored for district-level decision-making.",
