Antiprotozoal activity profiling of approved drugs: a starting point toward drug repositioning (Publications)
available to treat diseases such as leishmaniasis, Chagas' disease, human African trypanosomiasis and malaria. Since drug development is lengthy and expensive, a drug repurposing strategy offers an attractive

mice. The optimized compounds were found to be more efficacious than the current antimalarials in a malaria mouse model. They exhibit moderate oral exposure in rat pharmacokinetic studies to achieve sufficient
Estimation of the antirelapse efficacy of tafenoquine, using <em>Plasmodium vivax</em> genotyping (Publications)
Plasmodium vivax relapse prevention is a key treatment goal in malaria. Use of P. vivax genotyping in a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase IIb study in Peru, India, Thailand
Quantifying the impact of interventions against <em>Plasmodium vivax</em>: a model for country-specific use (Publications)
fictitious data, by simulating and comparing the impact of various intervention combinations on malaria risk and burden, this model could be a useful tool for strategic planning, implementation and resource
Using observed incidence to calibrate the transmission level of a mathematical model for <em>Plasmodium vivax</em> dynamics including case management... (Publications)
model is used to calculate local reproduction numbers in Panama and identify areas of sustained malaria transmission that should be targeted by control interventions.
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 suppression
Identification of oleamide in <em>Guatteria</em> recurvisepala by LC/MS-Based <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> thioredoxin reductase ligand binding... (Publications)
current research on applications of mass spectrometry to natural product drug discovery against malaria aims to screen plant extracts for new ligands to PLASMODIUM FALCIPARUM thioredoxin reductase ( PFTrxR) [...] regulation of the parasite and is validated as a promising target for therapeutic intervention against malaria. In the present study, detannified methanol extracts from GUATTERIA RECURVISEPALA, LICANIA KALLUNKIAE
A 39-amino-acid C-terminal truncation of GDV1 disrupts sexual commitment in<em> Plasmodium falciparum</em> (Publications)
Malaria is a mosquito-borne disease caused by apicomplexan parasites of the genus Plasmodium. Completion of the parasite's life cycle depends on the transmission of sexual stages, the gametocytes, from [...] important to sustain GDV1 protein levels and thereby sexual commitment.IMPORTANCE Transmission of malaria-causing Plasmodium species by mosquitos requires the parasite to change from a continuously growing
Modified mosquito landing boxes dispensing transfluthrin provide effective protection against <em>Anopheles arabiensis</em> mosquitoes under simulated... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Efforts to control malaria vectors have primarily focused on scaling-up of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying. Although highly efficient against indoor-biting [...] outdoor-biting mosquitoes in the peri-domestic space. They have a potential role in combatting outdoor malaria transmission without interfering with effective indoor interventions such as LLINs
