threshold level of mosquitoes below which transmission of malaria is interrupted. It is based on a classic Ross-Macdonald derivation of the malaria basic reproductive number (R0) and may be used to assess [...] (iv) the impact of resistance once it has arisen and, in particular, whether it is sufficient for malaria transmission to resume.

Ethnobotanical study of some of mosquito repellent plants in north-eastern Tanzania (Publications)
potential for malaria vector control requires evaluation in areas with different level of malaria endemicity. The essential oils of Ocimum suave and Ocimum kilimandscharicum were evaluated against malaria vectors [...] filter papers impregnated with Ocimum extracts, knockdown effects and mortality was investigated on malaria mosquito Anopheles arabiensis and Anopheles gambiae, including a nuisance mosquito, Culex quinqu

Antimalarial agents derived from metal-amodiaquine complexes with activity in multiple stages of the <em>Plasmodium</em> life cycle (Publications)
Malaria is the one of the deadliest infectious diseases worldwide. Chemically, quinolines are excellent ligands for metal coordination and are deployed as drugs for malaria treatment. There is a growing [...] coordination with antimalarial quinolines is a potential chemical tool for drug design and discovery in malaria and other infectious diseases susceptible to quinoline treatment.
