endanger patient safety and may contribute to the development of drug resistance. In the case of malaria, concerns relate to implications for the efficacy of artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACT)
Reported reasons for not using a mosquito net when one is available: a review of the published literature (Publications)
BACKGROUND: A review of the barriers to mosquito net use in malaria-endemic countries has yet to be presented in the published literature despite considerable research interest in this area. This paper
Differential patterns of infection and disease with <em>P. falciparum</em> and <em>P. vivax</em> in young Papua New Guinean children (Publications)
of P. vivax infection and illness is often concentrated in younger age groups. Experiences from malaria therapy patients indicate that immunity is acquired faster to P. vivax than to P. falciparum challenge
<em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> heterochromatin protein 1 marks genomic loci linked to phenotypic variation of exported virulence factors (Publications)
Epigenetic processes are the main conductors of phenotypic variation in eukaryotes. The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum employs antigenic variation of the major surface antigen PfEMP1, encoded by
Causes of acute undifferentiated fever and the utility of biomarkers in Chiangrai, northern Thailand (Publications)
continue to contribute substantially to the febrile disease burden throughout Southeast Asia while malaria is declining. Recently, there has been increasing focus on biomarkers (i.e. C-reactive protein (CRP)

Cause-specific childhood mortality in Africa and Asia: evidence from INDEPTH health and demographic surveillance system sites (Publications)
children continue to die from relatively preventable causes, particularly in areas with high rates of malaria and HIV/AIDS. Neonatal mortality persists at relatively high, and perhaps sometimes under-documented
Validation of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> dUTPase as the target of 5'-tritylated deoxyuridine analogues with anti-malarial activity (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Malaria remains as a major global problem, being one of the infectious diseases that engender highest mortality across the world. Due to the appearance of resistance and the lack of an effective
Causes of death in the Taabo health and demographic surveillance system, Côte d'Ivoire, from 2009 to 2011 (Publications)
analyzed, communicable diseases represented the leading causes (58.9%), with most deaths attributed to malaria (n=129), acute respiratory tract infections (n=110), HIV/AIDS (n=80), and pulmonary tuberculosis
