Concordance of targeted and whole genome sequencing for <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> genotypic drug susceptibility testing (Publications)
Targeted Next Generation Sequencing (tNGS) and Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) are increasingly used for genotypic drug susceptibility testing (gDST) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Thirty-two multi-drug
Attributes of <em>Anopheles gambiae</em> swarms in south central Uganda (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Anopheles gambiae continues to be widespread and an important malaria vector species complex in Uganda. New approaches to malaria vector control are being explored including population sup
Expression of the MSPDBL2 antigen in a discrete subset of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> schizonts is regulated by GDV1 but may not be linked to... (Publications)
The Plasmodium falciparum merozoite surface protein MSPDBL2 is a polymorphic antigen targeted by acquired immune responses, and normally expressed in only a minority of mature schizonts. The potential
Validation of the emergency department-paediatric early warning score (ED-PEWS) for use in low- and middle-income countries: a multicentre... (Publications)
Early recognition of children at risk of serious illness is essential in preventing morbidity and mortality, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). This study aimed to validate the
Applying the photovoice method with adolescents in mining areas in rural Mozambique: critical reflections and lessons learned (Publications)
There is a recognised need for innovative methods to elicit the perspective of adolescents on public health issues, particularly when addressing sensitive topics such as the impact of mining projects
Quantifying the impact of interventions against <em>Plasmodium vivax</em>: a model for country-specific use (Publications)
In order to evaluate the impact of various intervention strategies on Plasmodium vivax dynamics in low endemicity settings without significant seasonal pattern, we introduce a simple mathematical mode
Child exposure to organophosphate and pyrethroid insecticides measured in urine, wristbands, and household dust and its implications for child health... (Publications)
Background: Children in agricultural areas are exposed to organophosphate (OP) and pyrethroid (PYR) insecticides. This explorative study investigated child exposure to OPs and PYRs, comparing temporal
