Child health and infection with low density (CHILD) malaria: a protocol for a randomised controlled trial to assess the long-term health and... (Publications)
INTRODUCTION: As malaria declines, low-density malaria infections (LMIs) represent an increasing proportion of infections and may have negative impacts on child health and cognition, necessitating dev
Concordance of targeted and whole genome sequencing for <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> genotypic drug susceptibility testing (Publications)
Targeted Next Generation Sequencing (tNGS) and Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) are increasingly used for genotypic drug susceptibility testing (gDST) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Thirty-two multi-drug
Attributes of <em>Anopheles gambiae</em> swarms in South Central Uganda (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Anopheles gambiae continues to be widespread and an important malaria vector species complex in Uganda. New approaches to malaria vector control are being explored including population sup
Expression of the MSPDBL2 antigen in a discrete subset of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> schizonts is regulated by GDV1 but may not be linked to... (Publications)
The Plasmodium falciparum merozoite surface protein MSPDBL2 is a polymorphic antigen targeted by acquired immune responses, and normally expressed in only a minority of mature schizonts. The potential
Validation of the emergency department-paediatric early warning score (ED-PEWS) for use in low- and middle-income countries: a multicentre... (Publications)
Early recognition of children at risk of serious illness is essential in preventing morbidity and mortality, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This study aimed to validate the
Egg excretion patterns of soil-transmitted helminth infections in humans following albendazole-ivermectin and albendazole treatment (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Control efforts of soil-transmitted helminthiases rely primarily on large scale administration with anthelminthic drugs. The assessment of drug efficacies and understanding of drug behavio
The effectiveness of community health worker training, equipping, and deployment in reducing COVID-19 infections and deaths in rural Western Kenya: a... (Publications)
COVID-19 and other pandemics remain significant threats to population health, particularly in rural settings where health systems are disproportionately weak. There is a lack of evidence on whether tr
Transposition of <em>HOPPLA</em> in siRNA-deficient plants suggests a limited effect of the environment on retrotransposon mobility in... (Publications)
Long terminal repeat retrotransposons (LTR-RTs) are powerful mutagens regarded as a major source of genetic novelty and important drivers of evolution. Yet, the uncontrolled and potentially selfish pr
