Spatial-temporal heterogeneity in malaria receptivity is best estimated by vector biting rates in areas nearing elimination (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Decisions on when vector control can be withdrawn after malaria is eliminated depend on the receptivity or potential of an area to support vector populations. To guide malaria control and
Can the use of digital algorithms improve quality care? An example from Afghanistan (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Quality of care is a difficult parameter to measure. With the introduction of digital algorithms based on the Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI), we are interested to unders
"So that's why I'm scared of these methods": Locating contraceptive side effects in embodied life circumstances in Burundi and Eastern Democratic... (Publications)
Contraceptive side effects (SE) are often portrayed as either unproblematic trade-offs for pregnancy prevention or misconceptions and fears that negatively affect individuals' contraceptive decisions.
Systematic review of indoor residual spray efficacy and effectiveness against <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> in Africa (Publications)
Indoor residual spraying (IRS) is an important part of malaria control. There is a growing list of insecticide classes; pyrethroids remain the principal insecticide used in bednets but recently, novel
Come, sweet death: targeting glycosomal protein import for antitrypanosomal drug development (Publications)
Glycosomes evolved as specialized system for glycolysis in trypanosomatids. These organelle rely on protein import to maintain function. A machinery of peroxin (PEX) proteins is responsible for recogn
Polyamidoamine nanoparticles for the oral administration of antimalarial drugs (Publications)
Current strategies for the mass administration of antimalarial drugs demand oral formulations to target the asexual Plasmodium stages in the peripheral bloodstream, whereas recommendations for future
Does test-based prescription of evidence-based treatment for malaria improve treatment seeking and satisfaction? Findings of repeated cross-sectional... (Publications)
Introduction: The presumptive treatment of febrile illness with antimalarial medication is becoming less common in low-income and middle-income countries as access to reliable diagnostic tests improve
Laboratory-reflex cryptococcal antigen screening is associated with a survival benefit in Tanzania (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Cryptococcal antigen (CrAg) screening in persons with advanced HIV/AIDS is recommended to prevent death. Implementing CrAg screening only in outpatients may underestimate the true CrAg pre

Testing bio-efficacy of insecticide-treated nets with fewer mosquitoes for enhanced malaria control (Publications)
Malaria control programs implementing Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) are encouraged to conduct field monitoring of nets' survival, fabric integrity and insecticidal bio-efficacy. The reference
