Monitoring of larval habitats and mosquito densities in the Sudan savanna of Mali: implications for malaria vector control (Publications)
the rainy season, vector control in this small hamlet may be a cost-effective way to ameliorate malaria transmission in the 40-times larger village
Spatial analysis of malaria transmission parameters in the rice cultivation area of office du Niger, Mali (Publications)
The effects of rice growth environment on malaria transmission, taking into account spatial correlation, were assessed in the Office du Niger, Mali. Between April 1999 to January 2001, 8 quarterly entomologic [...] and showed low spatial correlations (up to 3.4 km), which suggested that small area variation in malaria transmission results mainly from variations in vector-human contact. Control strategies in rice
Malaria transmission dynamics in Niono, Mali: the effect of the irrigation systems (Publications)
The type of water management and drainage system could be a potential reason for variation in malaria transmission in rice cultivation areas. To investigate this we have compared the population dynamics [...] depth, i.e. casiers and hors-casiers, respectively in the Office du Niger, Mali. We also compared malaria transmission in areas with mixed and casiers plots. Larval collection was performed fortnightly with
Intermittent treatment for malaria and anaemia control at time of routine vaccinations in Tanzania infants: a randomised, placebo-controlled trial (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Clinical malaria and severe anaemia are major causes of paediatric hospital admission and death in many malaria-endemic settings. In the absence of an effective and affordable vaccine, control [...] were not affected by the intervention. INTERPRETATION: This new approach to malaria control reduced the rate of clinical malaria and severe anaemia by delivering an available and affordable drug through [...] assess the efficacy and safety of intermittent sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine...
