Repellents and new "spaces of concern" in global health (Publications)
Today, malaria prevention hinges upon two domestic interventions: insecticide-treated bed nets and indoor residual spraying. As mosquitoes grow resistant to these tools, however, novel approaches to vector [...] vector control have become a priority area of malaria research and development. Spatial repellency, a volumetric mode of action that seeks to reduce disease transmission by creating an atmosphere inimical [...] of a non-insecticidal paradigm of vector control for how we understand the...

The treatment of non-malarial febrile illness in Papua New Guinea: findings from cross sectional and longitudinal studies of health worker practice (Publications)
recently shifted from a presumptive to a 'test and treat' malaria case management policy. This shift was supported by the widespread introduction of malaria rapid diagnostic tests in health facilities across [...] detailing how to conduct and interpret a malaria rapid diagnostic test and how to treat test positive cases; however, little instruction on treating non-malaria febrile cases was provided. Accordingly, [...] l febrile patients in the 12-month period immediately following the...
Comparison of a new IgG-EIA for the detection of anti-plasmodium antibodies with two currently used assays (Publications)
Material and Methods: In the present study two routine Plasmodium spp. ELISA (CAPTIA™ Malaria EIA, Trinity Biotech, and Malaria EIA, Bio-Rad) were compared with a new commercial ELISA (ELISA IgG, EUROIMMUN). [...] Conclusion: The comparison of the new EUROIMMUN ELISA and the established CAPTIA™ Malaria EIA (Trinity Biotech) and Ma-laria EIA (BioRad) used for routine blood donor screening in two laboratory blood donation [...] Background: Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease caused by...
Mechanistic within-host models of the asexual <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> infection: a review and analytical assessment (Publications)
the last 30 years, several mechanistic mathematical models of malaria parasite within-host dynamics have been published and used in malaria transmission models. METHODS: Mechanistic within-host models of [...] and inter-individual variability. RESULTS: The assessed within-host malaria models generally replicate infection dynamics in malaria-naive individuals. However, there are substantial differences between [...] BACKGROUND: Malaria blood-stage infection length and intensity are important...
