Patterns of human exposure to malaria vectors in Zanzibar and implications for malaria elimination efforts (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Zanzibar provides a good case study for malaria elimination. The islands have experienced a dramatic reduction in malaria burden since the introduction of effective vector control interven

Evaluating a transfer gradient assumption in a fomite-mediated microbial transmission model using an experimental and Bayesian approach (Publications)
Current microbial exposure models assume that microbial exchange follows a concentration gradient during hand-to-surface contacts. Our objectives were to evaluate this assumption using transfer effici
Efficacy and safety of single 40 mg/kg oral praziquantel in the treatment of schistosomiasis in preschool-age versus school-age children: an... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Better knowledge of the efficacy and safety of single 40 mg/kg oral praziquantel in preschool-age children is required, should preventive chemotherapy programs for schistosomiasis be expan
Urogenital schistosomiasis in fisherman, Nepal, 2019 (Publications)
We report a case of urogenital schistosomiasis in a 34-year-old male patient in Nepal and summarize additional case reports. These cases provide putative evidence for the potential existence of human-
Estimated whole-brain and lobe-specific radiofrequency electromagnetic fields doses and brain volumes in preadolescents (Publications)
OBJECTIVE: To assess the association between estimated whole-brain and lobe-specific radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) doses, using an improved integrated RF-EMF exposure model, and brain
An autoencoder and artificial neural network-based method to estimate parity status of wild mosquitoes from near-infrared spectra (Publications)
After mating, female mosquitoes need animal blood to develop their eggs. In the process of acquiring blood, they may acquire pathogens, which may cause different diseases in humans such as malaria, zi
