Changes in household wealth in communities living in proximity to a large-scale copper mine in Zambia (Publications)
measure changes in health determinants over time. We conducted periodic household surveys at baseline in 2011, during the construction phase in 2015 and during the operational phase in 2019. Data collected included [...] significantly lower at baseline than that of the North-Western province (? 0.54 points; pvalue < 0.001) in 2011, but surpassed the regional average in 2019 (+1.07 points; p-value
Living on the edge: a longitudinal study of <em>Anopheles funestus</em> in an isolated area of Mozambique (Publications)
of Linga Linga in southern Mozambique was studied over a period of 104 weeks from March 2009 to May 2011 by 917 light-trap and 390 exit collections, mostly in an area close to a seasonal pond. RESULTS: Over [...] peak in rainfall was observed, but a clear population peak was absent during the first 21 weeks of 2011. In between population peaks, An. funestus remained present at low densities. In light trap collections

Effect of preventive chemotherapy with praziquantel on schistosomiasis among school-aged children in sub-Saharan Africa: a spatiotemporal modelling... (Publications)
preventive chemotherapy on schistosomiasis prevalence in sub-Saharan Africa, comparing 2000-10 with 2011-14 and 2015-19. METHODS: In this spatiotemporal modelling study, we analysed survey data from school-aged [...] estimated by a categorical variable with values corresponding to the three time periods (2000-10, 2011-14, and 2015-19) during which preventive chemotherapy interventions were scaled up. FINDINGS: We [...] which 77% (14 757 locations for S haematobium and 18 372 locations for S...
The challenge to avoid anti-malarial medicine stock-outs in an area of funding partners: the case of Tanzania (Publications)
mid-2011. METHODS: Data were collected weekly by the mobile phone reporting tool SMS for Life on ACT availability from over 5,000 public health facilities in Tanzania starting from September 2011 to December [...] 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 health facilities. The objective
Bayesian geostatistical model-based estimates of soil-transmitted helminth infection in Nigeria, including annual deworming requirements (Publications)
control activities. METHODOLOGY: STH infection prevalence data were obtained from surveys carried out in 2011 using standard protocols. Data were geo-referenced and collated in a nationwide, geographic information [...] dense vegetation are important predictors of the spatial distribution of STH infection in Nigeria. In 2011, a total of 5.7 million (13.8%) school-aged children were predicted to be infected with STHs in Nigeria [...] government area level for annual or bi-annual treatment of the...
