Mapping multiple components of malaria risk for improved targeting of elimination interventions (Publications)
component, related mappable malaria metrics are also described which may be measured and evaluated by malaria programmes seeking to better understand the determinants of malaria risk. Implementing tailored [...] There is a long history of considering the constituent components of malaria risk and the malaria transmission cycle via the use of mathematical models, yet strategic planning in endemic countries tends [...] tends not to take full advantage of available disease intelligence to tailor...
The ethics of health care delivery in a pediatric malaria vaccine trial: the perspectives of stakeholders from Ghana and Tanzania (Publications)
care to participants and communities of low-resource settings involved in a Phase II/III pediatric malaria vaccine trial (PMVT). We conducted 52 key informant interviews with major stakeholders of an int
Development of amplicon deep sequencing markers and data analysis pipeline for genotyping multi-clonal malaria infections (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Amplicon deep sequencing permits sensitive detection of minority clones and improves discriminatory power for genotyping multi-clone Plasmodium falciparum infections. New amplicon sequenci
malERA: an updated research agenda for malaria elimination and eradication (Publications)
burden and eliminating malaria through the "Global Technical Strategy" and 21 countries are aiming to eliminate malaria by 2020. The commitment to achieve these targets should be celebrated. However, the [...] goals, sustain elimination, and free the world of malaria is greater than ever. Over 180 experts across multiple disciplines are engaged in the Malaria Eradication Research Agenda (malERA) Refresh process [...] solved.

Attacking the mosquito on multiple fronts: insights from the vector control optimization model (VCOM) for malaria elimination (Publications)
nets (ITNs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) in reducing malaria transmission, it is unlikely these tools will be sufficient to eliminate malaria transmission on their own in many settings today. Fortunately [...] performed for the main three malaria vectors in sub-Saharan Africa, Anopheles gambiae s.s, An. arabiensis and An. funestus. We considered areas having low, moderate and high malaria transmission, corresponding [...] however, there is growing evidence and consensus that effective...
A public antibody lineage that potently inhibits malaria infection through dual binding to the circumsporozoite protein (Publications)
with attenuated Plasmodium falciparum sporozoites (PfSPZs) has been shown to be protective against malaria, but the features of the antibody response induced by this treatment remain unclear. To investigate [...] repeated injection of Sanaria PfSPZ Vaccine and who were found to be protected from controlled human malaria infection with infectious homologous PfSPZs. All isolated IgG monoclonal antibodies bound to P.
A review of spatial epidemiology with malaria surveillance and control in China (Publications)
monitoring and control of malaria depends largely on the spatial analysis technology and mathematical models. Visualization of malaria situation is the most popular way to present how malaria transmits. In this [...] paper, the malaria epidemic situation and the application of spatial epidemiology of malaria in China are summarized, so as to provide the systematic epidemiological information for malaria elimination
