The influence of biological, epidemiological, and treatment factors on the establishment and spread of drug-resistant <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> (Publications)
The effectiveness of artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) to treat Plasmodium falciparum malaria is threatened by resistance. The complex interplay between sources of selective pressure-treatment

Differences in affinity of monoclonal and naturally acquired polyclonal antibodies against <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> merozoite antigens (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Malaria is a major global cause of deaths and a vaccine is urgently needed. RESULTS: We have employed the P. falciparum merozoite antigens MSP2-3D7/FC27 and AMA1, used them in ELISA, and coupled
