A systematic review of chlorine-based surface disinfection efficacy to inform recommendations for low-resource outbreak settings (Publications)
chlorine-based disinfectants (56%) were most commonly tested. No consistent trend was seen in the influence of chlorine concentration and exposure time on disinfection efficacy. Disinfectant application mode; [...] low-resource outbreak settings are inconsistent and not evidence-based. METHODS: A systematic review of surface disinfection efficacy studies was conducted to inform low-resource outbreak guideline development
Insecticide susceptibility of <em>Anopheles </em>mosquitoes changes in response to variations in the larval environment (Publications)
substantially improved our understanding of the genetic basis of insecticide resistance over the last decade, we still know little of how environmental variations influence the mosquito phenotype. Here, we measured [...] control in reducing the burden of malaria. An understanding of insecticide resistance mechanisms would help to develop novel tools and strategies to restore the efficacy of insecticides. Although we have [...] change the insecticide susceptibility phenotype of adult Anopheles...
Gender and socio-cultural determinants of TB-related stigma in Bangladesh, India, Malawi and Colombia (Publications)
for women. CONCLUSION: Stigma both influences and indicates the effectiveness of TB control. Cultural epidemiological methods clarify cross-cutting and local features of stigma and gender for TB control [...] Bangladesh, India, Malawi and Colombia. OBJECTIVE: Assess indicators of TB-related stigma and socio-cultural and gender-related features of illness associated with stigma. DESIGN: Semi-structured Explanatory [...] administered to 100 or more patients at each site, assessing categories of...

Participants [...] emotions. Due to the competing risks and concerns of daily life, the participants needed regular reminders about earthquake preparedness. The findings of the study presented valuable insight and hints, which [...] needs considering earthquake risk communication among populations. The...
Human behavior, livelihood, and malaria transmission in two sites of Papua New Guinea (Publications)
intervention coverage, social and cultural factors influence changes in epidemiology of malaria in PNG. This study aimed to better understand the role of human behavior in relation to current malaria control [...] potential of outdoor exposure to hamper malaria control as people spend a remarkable amount of time outdoors without protection from mosquitoes. To prevent ongoing transmission, targeting of groups, places [...] relevance to Anopheles exposure. People spend a substantial amount of time...
Population genetic structure of Aldabra giant tortoises (Publications)
Evolution of population structure on islands is the result of physical processes linked to volcanism, orogenic events, changes in sea level, as well as habitat variation. We assessed patterns of genetic [...] tortoise of the Aldabra atoll, where previous ecological studies suggested population subdivisions as a result of landscape discontinuity due to unsuitable habitat and island separation. Analysis of mitochondrial [...] sampled in 3 locations on the 2 major islands of Aldabra. We found no...
