Comparative functional survival and equivalent annual cost of 3 long-lasting insecticidal net (LLIN) products in Tanzania: a randomised trial with... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Two billion long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) have been procured for malaria control. A functional LLIN is one that is present, is in good physical condition, and remains insecticidal [...] monitor their comparative durability to ensure that the most cost-effective products are procured for malaria control.
Socio-cultural factors explaining timely and appropriate use of health facilities for degedege in south-eastern Tanzania (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Convulsions is one of the key signs of severe malaria among children under five years of age, potentially leading to serious complications or death. Several studies of care-seeking behaviour [...] that facilities did not provide diagnosis. CONCLUSION: The findings from this sample from a highly malaria-endemic area give support to the more recent studies showing that children with convulsions are more

Complete structural assignment of serratol, a cembrane-type diterpene from <em>Boswellia serrata</em>, and evaluation of its antiprotozoal activity (Publications)
T. cruzi (Chagas' disease), Leishmania donovani (Kala-Azar), and Plasmodium falciparum (Tropical Malaria). It was found active against T. brucei and P. falciparum. These activities were 10- to 15-fold higher
Estimation of infection and recovery rates for highly polymorphic parasites when detectability is imperfect, using hidden Markov models (Publications)
implemented using Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation. The model is applied to a panel data set of malaria genotype data from a randomized controlled trial of bed nets in Tanzanian children aged 6-30 months
Indole and benzimidazole bichalcophenes: synthesis, DNA binding and antiparasitic activity (Publications)
their antimicrobial activity against the tropical parasites causing African sleeping sickness and malaria. The dicyanoindoles needed to synthesize the target diamidines were obtained through Stille coupling

Emerging resistance to first-line antimalarial combination therapies threatens malaria treatment and the global elimination campaign. Improved therapeutic strategies are required to protect existing drugs
Host-directed therapies for infectious diseases: current status, recent progress, and future prospects (Publications)
functional disability arising from tissue damage. The continuing epidemics of tuberculosis, HIV, malaria, and influenza, and the emergence of novel zoonotic pathogens represent major clinical management
