Associations of peak shifts in age-prevalence for human malarias with bednet coverage (Publications)
Effects of bednet coverage (C) on prevalence of malaria were analysed using data from 1990-92 from 9 Papua New Guinean villages. Effects of coverage varied by age, resulting in a shift in age of peak [...] for Plasmodium falciparum, from 3.4 to 4.9 years for P. vivax and from 11.0 to 16.8 years for P. malariae. In small areas with no bednets the age distribution of P. falciparum parasitaemia was like that [...] mesoendemicity. Thus, protracted use of bednets can result in profound changes in...
Is fever a good sign for clinical malaria in surveys of endemic communities? (Publications)
ic sign of clinical malaria, many Plasmodium falciparum malaria cases in endemic areas do not present with measurable temperature elevations. In a field study in Tanzania, malaria morbidity was defined [...] reported illness associated with malaria parasite densities higher than those in healthy individuals. Without diagnosis of individual episodes, prevalences of malaria-attributable morbidity of 9.8% in [...] 5-9 years of age were estimated. No illness was considered to be due to malaria in...
