Design of trials for interrupting the transmission of endemic pathogens (Publications)
of the SolarMal trial on the use of odor-baited mosquito traps to eliminate Plasmodium falciparum malaria. These were used to compare variants in the proposed SWCRT designs for the SolarMal trial. RESULTS: [...] assessed in the simulated trials. Inspired by analyses of trials of insecticide-treated nets against malaria when applied to the geography of the SolarMal trial, these measures were found to be robust to different
A <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> PHIST protein binds the virulence factor PfEMP1 and comigrates to knobs on the host cell surface (Publications)
Uniquely among malaria parasites, Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes (iRBCs) develop membrane protrusions, known as knobs, where the parasite adhesion receptor P. falciparum erythrocyte membrane [...] formation and the associated iRBC adherence to host endothelium are directly linked to the severity of malaria and are functional manifestations of protein export from the parasite to the iRBC. A family of exported

various follow-up time-points in treatment efficacy trials for uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria. METHODS: Individual patient data from 83 anti-malarial efficacy studies collated in the WorldWide [...] constructed distribution was used to estimate the optimal follow-up period for capturing a P. falciparum malaria recrudescence. Simulation studies were conducted based on the constructed distributions to quantify
An evidence synthesis approach for combining different data sources illustrated using entomological efficacy of insecticides for indoor residual... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Prospective malaria public health interventions are initially tested for entomological impact using standardised experimental hut trials. In some cases, data are collated as aggregated counts [...] residual spray (IRS) product active ingredient, used on wall surfaces to kill mosquitoes and reduce malaria transmission, were analysed using a series of statistical models to understand the benefits and

In vitro antiplasmodial activity and cytotoxicity of ethnobotanically selected Ivorian plants (Publications)
Eight extracts from four Ivorian medicinal plants, traditionally used to treat malaria, were tested for their antiplasmodial activity in vitro by assessing their ability to inhibit the uptake of [3H]h
