<em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> cerebral malaria complicated by disseminated intravascular coagulation and symmetrical peripheral gangrene: case report... (Publications)
The case of a 56-year-old female tourist who survived cerebral Plasmodium falciparum malaria with disseminated intravascular coagulation and symmetrical peripheral gangrene, ultimately requiring amputation [...] gangrene has been described rarely in Asian, African, and American patients with Plasmodium falciparum malaria and disseminated intravascular coagulation, no such case has been reported in travelers returning
Safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of new formulations of the <em>Plasmodium falciparum </em>malaria peptide SPf66 combined with the... (Publications)
SPf66 is a synthetic malaria peptide vaccine, which has been widely tested in combination with aluminium hydroxide (alum) as the adjuvant. Since this formulation is weakly immunogenic, we sought to improve
Exploring the contributions of bed nets, cattle, insecticides and excitorepellency to malaria control: a deterministic model of mosquito host-seeking... (Publications)
Domestic and personal protection measures against malaria exposure either divert host-seeking vectors to other hosts or kill those attempting to feed. Here, we explicitly model mosquito host-seeking processes [...] technology and distribution systems for insecticide-treated nets improve, massive reductions in malaria transmission could be realised
Rise in malaria incidence rates in South Africa: a small-area spatial analysis of variation in time trends (Publications)
analysis were that: 1) the spatial distribution of the rise in malaria incidence is uneven and strongly suggests a geographic expansion of high-malaria-risk areas; 2) there is evidence of a stabilization of incidence [...] Bayesian statistical models, the authors investigated spatial and temporal variations in small-area malaria incidence rates for the period mid-1986 to mid-1999 for two districts in northern KwaZulu Natal,
