Gestational SARS-CoV-2 infection in a Ugandan birth cohort: high incidence, mild maternal disease, and evidence of association with transient infant... (Publications)
Many questions remain about the prevalence and effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection in malaria-endemic African countries like Uganda, particularly in vulnerable groups such as pregnant women. We describe SARS-CoV-2 [...] immunoglobulin (Ig)G and IgM antibody responses and clinical outcomes in mother-infant dyads enrolled in malaria chemoprevention trials in Uganda. From December 2020-February 2022, among 400 unvaccinated pregnant
<em>Plasmodium vivax</em> and <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> infection dynamics: re-infections, recrudescences and relapses (Publications)
BACKGROUND: In malaria endemic populations, complex patterns of Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum blood-stage infection dynamics may be observed. Genotyping samples from longitudinal cohort studies [...] CONCLUSION: The statistical model developed here provides a useful new tool for in-depth analysis of malaria data from longitudinal cohort studies, and future application to data sets with multi-locus genotyping
Semi-field experiments reveal contrasted predation and movement patterns of aquatic macroinvertebrate predators of Anopheles gambiae larvae (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Members of the Anopheles gambiae complex are major malaria vectors in sub-Saharan Africa. Their larval stages inhabit a variety of aquatic habitats in which, under natural circumstances, they [...] taxa of aquatic macroinvertebrate predators. Understanding the potential impact of predators on malaria vector larval population dynamics is important for enabling integrated local mosquito control programmes
