Vaccine hesitancy has played a major role in slowing the global COVID-19 response. Using cross-sectional, primarily qualitative data collected in four rural districts in Zambia, we aimed to explore co
Slow clearance of histidine-rich protein-2 in Gabonese with uncomplicated malaria (Publications)
Malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs), which detect Plasmodium falciparum (Pf)-specific histidine-rich protein-2 (HRP2), have increasing importance for the diagnosis and control of malaria, especially
Implementation of maternal and newborn health mobile phone e-cohorts to track longitudinal care quality in low- and middle-income countries (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The maternal and newborn health (MNH) eCohort is a new mixed-mode (in-person and phone) longitudinal survey aiming to provide data on novel and undermeasured dimensions of quality along th
Greywater recycling for diverse collection scales and appliances: enteric pathogen log-removal targets and treatment trains (Publications)
In light of increasingly diverse greywater reuse applications, this study proposes risk-based log-removal targets (LRTs) to aid the selection of treatment trains for greywater recycling at different c
