Multilocus haplotypes reveal variable levels of diversity and population structure of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> in Papua New Guinea, a region of... (Publications)
falciparum on the coast and in the low-lying inland areas. Local heterogeneity in the epidemiology of malaria suggests that parasites from multiple locations will need to be surveyed to define the population [...] variable genetic diversity and population structure of P. falciparum has important implications for malaria control strategies and warrants further fine scale sampling throughout Papua New Guinea
The challenge to avoid anti-malarial medicine stock-outs in an area of funding partners: the case of Tanzania (Publications)
introduction of a health facility ACT stock monitoring system using SMS technology by the National Malaria Control Programme in mid 2011 revealed a high frequency of stock-outs of ACT in primary care public [...] both within the country and from the main donor, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. Tanzania should invest in strengthening both the supply system and the health information system
Larval and adult environmental temperatures influence the adult reproductive traits of <em>Anopheles gambiae</em> s.s. (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Anopheles mosquito life-history parameters and population dynamics strongly influence malaria transmission, and environmental factors, particularly temperature, strongly affect these parameters [...] are necessary to parameterise more reliably models predicting how global warming may influence malaria transmission
Optimization and validation of multi-coloured capillary electrophoresis for genotyping of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> merozoite surface proteins... (Publications)
encoding the merozoite surface proteins 1 and 2 (msp1 and msp2) is well established in the field of malaria research to determine the number and types of concurrent clones in an infection. Genotyping is regarded [...] size ( < 1 bp). More genotypes were detected in mixtures of laboratory lines and blood samples from malaria infected children, compared to gel electrophoresis. The capacity to distinguish recrudescent parasites

Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of oral artemether for the prevention of patent <em>Schistosoma haematobium </em>infections (Publications)
microhematuria and macrohematuria were assessed 3 weeks after the final dosing. We also monitored malaria parasitemia and treated positive cases with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP). Oral artemether was well [...] 0.001). Heavy S. haematobium infections, microhematuria and macrohematuria, and the incidence of malaria parasitemia were all significantly lower in artemether recipients. In conclusion, previous findings
Assessing the population coverage of a health demographic surveillance system using satellite imagery and crowd-sourcing (Publications)
