Malaria-anemia comorbidity prevalence as a measure of malaria-related deaths in sub-Saharan Africa (Publications)
Different methods and data sources have been utilized to determine the relationship between malaria and mortality in endemic countries. Most of these efforts have focused on deaths directly attributed
Kankanet: an artificial neural network-based object detection smartphone application and mobile microscope as a point-of-care diagnostic aid for... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Endemic areas for soil-transmitted helminthiases often lack the tools and trained personnel necessary for point-of-care diagnosis. This study pilots the use of smartphone microscopy and an
Mosquito feeding behavior and how it influences residual malaria transmission across Africa (Publications)
The antimalarial efficacy of the most important vector control interventions-long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS)-primarily protect against mosquitoes' biting peop
A multi-band body-worn distributed exposure meter for personal radio-frequency dosimetry in diffuse indoor environments (Publications)
A multi-band body-worn distributed exposure meter (BWDM) is designed and calibrated for diffuse fields in a reverberation chamber (RC) for personal exposure assessment in indoor environments. The BWDM
Procalcitonin and lung ultrasonography point-of-care testing to decide on antibiotic prescription in patients with lower respiratory tract infection... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: A minority of patients presenting with lower respiratory tract infection (LRTI) to their general practitioner (GP) have community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and require antibiotic therapy. I
TNF-α–induced protein 3 is a key player in childhood asthma development and environment-mediated protection (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Childhood asthma prevalence is significantly higher in urban areas compared to rural/farm environments. Murine studies have shown that TNFAIP3 (TNF-alpha-induced protein 3, A20), an anti-i
Network analysis of dairy cattle movement and associations with bovine tuberculosis spread and control in emerging dairy belts of Ethiopia (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Dairy cattle movement could be a major risk factor for the spread of bovine tuberculosis (BTB) in emerging dairy belts of Ethiopia. Dairy cattle may be moved between farms over long distan

BACKGROUND: Biomedical research has recently moved through three stages in digital healthcare: (1) data collection; (2) data sharing; and (3) data analytics. With the explosion of stored health data (
Risk profiling of soil-transmitted helminth infection and estimated number of infected people in South Asia: a systematic review and Bayesian... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: In South Asia, hundreds of millions of people are infected with soil-transmitted helminths (Ascaris lumbricoides, hookworm, and Trichuris trichiura). However, high-resolution risk profiles
Predicting fine-scale daily NO2 for 2005-2016 incorporating OMI satellite data across Switzerland (Publications)
Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) remains an important traffic-related pollutant associated with both short- and long-term health effects. We aim to model daily average NO2 concentrations in Switzerland in a mul
