Intermittent preventive treatment for malaria in infants: a decision-support tool for sub-Saharan Africa (Publications)
clinical cases of Plasmodium falciparum malaria, hospital admissions for infection with malaria parasites and malaria-associated death for different levels of malaria transmission intensity and seasonality [...] with the severity of the malaria outcome and with transmission intensity. The decision-support tool, available on the Internet, provides estimates of the percentage of malaria-associated deaths, hospi [...] effectiveness of IPTi varies with malaria transmission intensity and seasonality....
A periodically-forced mathematical model for the seasonal dynamics of malaria in mosquitoes (Publications)
orbits of field-measurable quantities that measure malaria transmission. We integrate this model with an individual-based stochastic simulation model for malaria in humans to compare the effects of insectic [...] interventions reduce transmission and prevalence, they can lead to increased clinical malaria; and all three malaria indicators return to preintervention levels within 3 years after the interventions are [...] We describe and analyze a periodically-forced difference equation model for m...
Developmental impairments following severe falciparum malaria in children (Publications)
complications of falciparum malaria, such as multiple, prolonged or focal seizures, is not known. Thus, our objective was to investigate the long-term developmental outcome of CM and malaria with complicated seizures [...] OBJECTIVE: Neurological deficits are reported in children after cerebral malaria (CM) but little is known about the prevalence and characteristics of persisting neurocognitive consequences. The prevalence [...] y increases the risk of cognitive and behavioural problems in...
Evaluation of two long synthetic merozoite surface protein 2 peptides as malaria vaccine candidates (Publications)
peptide-specific antibodies in human immune sera were associated with protection from clinical malaria. The synthetic fragments share major antigenic properties with native MSP2. Immunization of mice
Multiplex real-time PCR for the diagnosis of malaria: correlation with microscopy (Publications)
Abstract Malaria is generally diagnosed by microscopy and rapid antigen testing. Molecular methods become more widely used. In the present study, the contribution of a quantitative multiplex malaria PCR was
