A new invention sometimes surprises people and the same thing happens when reports surface that mathematics can solve the malaria problem. The new method unveils new ways.

A tiny mosquito can be responsible for the deadliest disease, Malaria. Several methods are present to tame that tiny insect. One of them is the Mathematics.

One important thing is malaria is a specific disease, but the mode is different with the different species of mosquitoes. Big think reported that it is difficult to prepare a vaccine to tackle the disease. The use of pesticide and drug create other unwanted problems so preventive measures are the best to eliminate this black patch. The new solution of mathematics creates a unique preventive way.

Mathematics means the activeness of numbers. Very few people can think that numbers can play the key role in combating malaria. Surprisingly, one mathematician is present who tries to invent an effective way to tackle the mosquitoes. That means to discover a way to tame the deadliest disease malaria.

Dr. Philip Eckhoff, a Ph.D. and an expert in applied and computational mathematics from the famous Princeton University, is the inventor of the rare way. He experienced several bitter incidents about malaria during his childhood days in Haiti. This fact forced him to invent a most suitable and affordable way with mathematics to stop the global impact of this disease.

His talent and research study help him to use mathematics and to discover a model that can predict the mosquito behavior. The model can uncover the active time of the tiny insect during the day. It can provide information about the insects' resistance to the mosquito killers. In a word, Dr. Philip Eckhoff has invented a set of essential ways to decrease the impact of malaria.

The model can also analyze some methods to explore the effectiveness. This specific way of mathematics is very useful to identify the areas where mosquitoes can't be easily eliminated. Dr. Philip Eckhoff opines that different ways can be applied to model malaria.

Agent-base modeling is one of them. This modeling creates a simulation to make the place, persons and every significant thing as the objects in the software. After this, a rule is surfaced to know the interaction of these objects with each other. In a word, the aim is to eliminate malaria with the use of the mathematics.

Latinos Health previously reported that the researchers at the University of Tubingen have created a vaccine to fight malaria. The research team has invented the vaccine together with the biotech company, Sanaria Inc. now the new way of using mathematics also creates a great breakthrough in this arena.

This new way of mathematics is useful to kill the huge impact of malaria, but awareness is necessary to get a more fruitful result. Social awareness in every community is the key pillar to stop the spread of the mosquitoes. Eradication of a deadly disease always brings a new phase of life.
