Characterizing the pharmacological interaction of the antimalarial combination artefenomel-piperaquine in healthy volunteers with induced blood-stage... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The combination antimalarial artefenomel-piperaquine failed to achieve target efficacy in a phase 2b study in Africa and Vietnam. We retrospectively evaluated whether characterizing the ph

variation in egg hatching and its environmental and genetic determinants in sibling species of the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae s.l. is important for understanding their adaptation to variable aquatic
Scalable camera traps for measuring the attractiveness of sugar baits for controlling malaria and dengue vectors (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Attractive targeted sugar baits (ATSBs) are promising new interventions that can complement existing vector control tools. However, reproducible and quantitative information on the level o
Impact of climate variability and interventions on malaria incidence and forecasting in Burkina Faso (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Malaria remains a climate-driven public health issue in Burkina Faso, yet the interactions between climatic factors and malaria interventions across different zones are not well understood [...] suitability and malaria incidence. Wavelet analysis was conducted to understand better how fluctuations in climatic factors across different time scales and climatic zones affect malaria transmission dynamics [...] . This study estimates time delays in the effects of climatic factors on malar...
Insights into the biology and insecticide susceptibility of the secondary malaria vector <em>Anopheles parensis</em> in an area with long-term use of... (Publications)
at least 11 sibling species, with Anopheles funestus Giles being the most studied and significant malaria vector. Other species, like Anopheles parensis, are understudied despite their potential role in [...] lity of An. parensis. Primarily feeding on non-human hosts, An. parensis is less significant in malaria transmission than more anthropophilic vectors. Unlike the pyrethroid-resistant An. funestus sensu [...] findings provide a foundation for future research and may inform control strategies...
Determinants of malaria infection among under five children in Gursum district of Somali region, eastern Ethiopia (Publications)
and not receiving malaria health information [AOR = 2.12 (1.06-4.21)]. Additionally, proximity to malaria vector breeding habitats [AOR = 4.74 (2.27-9.90)] was significant for malaria positivity. These [...] as the primary determinants of malaria positivity among U5 children in the Gursum district. CONCLUSION: The study indicates that critical factors contributing to malaria positivity among U5 children in [...] BACKGROUND: Despite significant efforts to control malaria infections in recent...
The influence of jittering DHS cluster locations on geostatistical model-based estimates of malaria risk in Cameroon (Publications)
surveys such as the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) and the Malaria Indicator Surveys (MIS) are routinely carried out to assess the malaria risk and the coverage of related interventions. A two-stage sampling [...] the influence of jittering on the estimates of the geographical distribution of malaria risk and on the effects of malaria control interventions using data from the latest MIS in Cameroon. Methods We generated [...] geostatistical variable selection was applied to identify the...
