Bayesian geostatistical modelling of malaria and lymphatic filariasis infections in Uganda: predictors of risk and geographical patterns of... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: In Uganda, malaria and lymphatic filariasis (causative agent Wuchereria bancrofti) are transmitted by the same vector species of Anopheles mosquitoes, and thus are likely to share common e
Simulation of malaria epidemiology and control in the highlands of western Kenya (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Models of Plasmodium falciparum malaria epidemiology that provide realistic quantitative predictions of likely epidemiological outcomes of existing vector control strategies have the poten
Low efficacy of single-dose albendazole and mebendazole against hookworm and effect on concomitant helminth infection in Lao PDR (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Albendazole and mebendazole are increasingly deployed for preventive chemotherapy targeting soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections. We assessed the efficacy of single oral doses of alb
A pilot control trial of schistosomiasis in central Liberia by mass chemotherapy of target populations, combined with focal application of... (Publications)
In an area of high transmission of Schistosoma haematobium and S. mansoni in Central Liberia, populations of five villages and intermediate host snails were surveyed for two years. In three of these v
Two new rapid SNP-typing methods for classifying <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> complex into the main phylogenetic lineages (Publications)
There is increasing evidence that strain variation in Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) might influence the outcome of tuberculosis infection and disease. To assess genotype-phenotype associat
A research agenda for malaria eradication: diagnoses and diagnostics (Publications)
Many of malaria's signs and symptoms are indistinguishable from those of other febrile diseases. Detection of the presence of Plasmodium parasites is essential, therefore, to guide case management. Im
