The complex relationship of exposure to new <em>Plasmodium</em> infections and incidence of clinical malaria in Papua New Guinea (Publications)
The molecular force of blood-stage infection (molFOB) is a quantitative surrogate metric for malaria transmission at population level and for exposure at individual level. Relationships between molFOB
Sustained malaria control over an 8-year period in Papua New Guinea: the challenge of low-density asymptomatic <em>Plasmodium</em> infections (Publications)
Background: The scale-up of effective malaria control in the last decade has resulted in a substantial decline in the incidence of clinical malaria in many countries. The effects on the proportions of [...] has resulted in reduced malaria transmission potential, but an increasing proportion of gametocyte carriers are asymptomatic and submicroscopic and represent a challenge to malaria control.
malERA: an updated research agenda for combination interventions and modelling in malaria elimination and eradication (Publications)
number of countries embarking on malaria elimination programmes, national and local decisions to select combinations of tools and deployment strategies directed at malaria elimination must address rapidly [...] This paper summarises key advances and priorities since the 2011 presentation of the Malaria Eradication Research Agenda (malERA), with a focus on the combinations of intervention tools and strategies [...] deployment against a heterogeneous transmission background is a challenge. Further...
malERA: an updated research agenda for characterising the reservoir and measuring transmission in malaria elimination and eradication (Publications)
key advances in defining the infectious reservoir for malaria and the measurement of transmission for research and programmatic use since the Malaria Eradication Research Agenda (malERA) publication in 2011 [...] is variable. New and improved measures of transmission need to be operationally feasible for the malaria programmes. Outputs from these research priorities should allow the development of a set of approaches

effectiveness of interventions ('effectiveness decay'), and respond to dynamic and changing needs. The malaria eradication research agenda (malERA) Refresh consultative process for the Panel on Health Systems [...] Research identifies opportunities to build health systems evidence and the tools needed to eliminate malaria from different zones, countries, and regions and to eradicate it globally. The research questions [...] include delivery strategies to meet the changing dynamics of needs of...
Multiple insecticide resistance in <em>Anopheles gambiae</em> from Tanzania: a major concern for malaria vector control (Publications)
development of insecticide resistance in the major malaria vectors. This study was carried out to monitor the susceptibility status of major malaria vectors to insecticides used for IRS and LLINs in mainland [...] BACKGROUND: Malaria vector control in Tanzania is based on use of long-lasting insecticide treated nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS), which both rely on the use of chemical insecticides. [...] An. gambiae sensu stricto (s.s.) Kisumu strain. RESULTS: Anopheles arabiensis...
