A nationwide survey of the quality of antimalarials in retail outlets in Tanzania (Publications)
INTRODUCTION: Retail pharmaceutical products are commonly used to treat fever and malaria in sub-Saharan African countries. Small scale studies have suggested that poor quality antimalarials are widespread

push-pull system. Push-pull systems have been shown to reduce house entry and outdoor biting rates of malaria vectors and so have the potential to control other outdoor biting mosquitoes such as Aedes aegypti
Mode of action of synthetic antimalarial peroxides (Publications)
Malaria is one of the most widespread infectious diseases which caused an estimated 212 million cases and 429,000 deaths worldwide in 2015. Today, artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT), a combination

Time series analysis of survival and oviposition cycle duration of <em>Anopheles funestus</em> (Giles) in Mozambique (Publications)
Survival and gonotrophic cycle duration are important determinants of the vectorial capacity of malaria vectors but there are a limited number of approaches to estimate these quantities from field data
