School distribution as keep-up strategy to maintain universal coverage of long-lasting insecticidal nets: implementation and results of a program in... (Publications)
LLIN ownership and use is expected to have increased, potentially further reducing the burden of malaria in the Southern Zone of Tanzania.
Global metabolic responses of NMRI mice to an experimental <em>Plasmodium berghei</em> infection (Publications)
metabolic profiling may provide a sensitive diagnostic tool of Plasmodium infection and the control of malaria more generally
Antiprotozoal activity of <em>Buxus sempervirens</em> and activity-guided isolation of <em>O</em>-tigloylcyclovirobuxeine-B as the main constituent... (Publications)
Buxus sempervirens L. (European Box, Buxaceae) has been used in ethnomedicine to treat malaria. In the course of our screening of plant extracts for antiprotozoal activity, a CH2Cl2 extract from leaves
Mbandakamine-type naphthylisoquinoline dimers and related alkaloids from the central African liana <em>ancistrocladus ealaensis </em>with... (Publications)
ealaines A-D (11-14). The new mbandakamines C (4) and D (5) showed pronounced activities against the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, and they were likewise found to display strong cytotoxic activities
Candidate-gene based GWAS identifies reproducible DNA markers for metabolic pyrethroid resistance from standing genetic variation in East African... (Publications)
resistance to pyrethroid insecticides is widespread in Anopheles mosquitoes and is a major threat to malaria control. DNA markers would aid predictive monitoring of resistance, but few mutations have been
Analysis of subtelomeric virulence gene families in <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> by comparative transcriptional profiling (Publications)
have important implications for our understanding and future analyses of phenotypic variation in malaria parasites
Histopathological changes in adult <em>Schistosoma japonicum</em> harbored in mice treated with a single dose of mefloquine (Publications)
New research has shown that mefloquine, an arylaminoalcohol used against malaria, is active against Schistosoma japonicum and Schistosoma mansoni in vivo. To enhance our understanding of the potential
<em>Plasmodium </em>Helical Interspersed Subtelomeric (PHIST) proteins, at the Center of Host Cell Remodeling (Publications)
PfEMP1, gametocytogenesis, changes in cell rigidity, and also cerebral and pregnancy-associated malaria. Thus, we conclude that PHIST proteins are central to host cell remodeling, but despite their obvious
2-Octadecynoic acid as a dual life stage inhibitor of <em>Plasmodium</em> infections and plasmodial FAS-II enzymes (Publications)
The malaria parasite Plasmodium goes through two life stages in the human host, a non-symptomatic liver stage (LS) followed by a blood stage with all clinical manifestation of the disease. In this study

randomized controlled trial of insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) was conducted in an area of high malaria transmission in Tanzania in order to assess the effects of ITNs on infection and anaemia. One hundred
