Measuring and characterizing night time human behaviour as it relates to residual malaria transmission in sub-Saharan Africa: a review of the... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Malaria cases and deaths decreased dramatically in recent years, largely due to effective vector control interventions. Persistence of transmission after good coverage has been achieved wi
Resource use, costs, and approval times for planning and preparing a randomized clinical trial before and after the implementation of the new Swiss... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The preparation of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) requires substantial resources and the administrative processes can be burdensome. To facilitate the conduct of RCTs it is important
Daily variation of heavy metal contamination and its potential sources along the major urban wastewater channel in Kampala, Uganda (Publications)
Heavy metal pollution from untreated industrial wastewater has become a major concern to the environment and public health in many rapidly growing cities in low-income countries. Previous studies on h
Rapid multiplex gene expression assays for monitoring metabolic resistance in the major malaria vector <em>Anopheles gambiae</em> (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Metabolic resistance of the major malaria vector Anopheles gambiae (s.l.) to insecticides is operationally significant, particularly in combination with target site resistance. However, de
Life cycle maintenance and drug-sensitivity assays for early drug discovery in <em>Schistosoma mansoni</em> (Publications)
Drug discovery for schistosomiasis is still limited to a handful of academic laboratories worldwide, with only a few novel antischistosomal lead compounds being actively researched. Despite recent int
Optimising decentralisation for the health sector by exploring the synergy of decision space, capacity and accountability: insights from the... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Several studies on decentralisation have used the 'decision space' approach to assess the breadth of space made available to decision-makers at lower levels of the health system. However,
Molecular monitoring of the diversity of human pathogenic malaria species in blood donations on Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Malaria can be transmitted by blood transfusion from human to human and it is responsible for the majority of transfusion-transmitted infectious diseases worldwide. In sub-Saharan Africa,
