The origins of malaria artemisinin resistance defined by a genetic and transcriptomic background (Publications)
The predisposition of parasites acquiring artemisinin resistance still remains unclear beyond the mutations in Pfk13 gene and modulation of the unfolded protein response pathway. To explore the chain
Nationwide school malaria parasitaemia survey in public primary schools, the United Republic of Tanzania (Publications)
school, malaria survey was implemented to assess the risk factors of malaria prevalence and bed net use among primary school children in mainland Tanzania. This allowed the mapping of malaria prevalence [...] for malaria infection and for bed net use while adjusting for school effect. RESULTS: In total, 49,113 children were interviewed and tested for malaria infection. The overall prevalence of malaria was [...] prevalence at council level and assessment of malaria risk factors among school...
Evaluation of 4-amino 2-anilinoquinazolines against <em>Plasmodium</em> and other apicomplexan parasites<em> in vitro </em>and in a<em> P.... (Publications)
A series of 4-amino 2-anilinoquinazolines optimized for activity against the most lethal malaria parasite of humans, Plasmodium falciparum, were evaluated for activity against other human Plasmodium parasites
Mass drug administration for malaria elimination: do we understand the settings well enough? (Publications)
tool for interrupting malaria transmission, but evidence from low endemicity settings is scarce. A trial in Zanzibar found that two rounds of MDA made no significant impact on malaria incidence, and many
Measuring health facility readiness and its effects on severe malaria outcomes in Uganda (Publications)
role of health service delivery to the malaria decline in Uganda We developed a methodology to quantify health facility readiness and assessed its role on severe malaria outcomes among lower-level facilities [...] facilities (HCIIIs and HCIIs) in the country. Malaria data was extracted from the Health Management Information System (HMIS). General service and malaria-specific readiness indicators were obtained from the [...] factorial axes. Geostatistical models assessed the effect of facility...
Inter-sectoral approaches for the prevention and control of malaria among the mobile and migrant populations: a scoping review (Publications)
knowledge about malaria, initiation and promotion of bed nets utilization, increased access to diagnosis and treatment in a surveillance context and contributed towards a reduction in malaria transmission [...] with correct knowledge about malaria transmission (70%, 95% CI 57-83%). Interventions targeting the use of bed nets utilization were two times more likely to reduce malaria incidence amongst the targeted [...] BACKGROUND: Malaria cases among mobile and migrant populations (MMPs) represent...
Spatial-temporal heterogeneity in malaria receptivity is best estimated by vector biting rates in areas nearing elimination (Publications)
when vector control can be withdrawn after malaria is eliminated depend on the receptivity or potential of an area to support vector populations. To guide malaria control and elimination programmes, the potential [...] estimate malaria receptivity and transmission were compared within and among geographically localised villages of active transmission in the Western Province of the Solomon Islands. RESULTS: Malaria transmission [...] inoculation and parity rates could not be measured with the...
