A 10 year study of the cause of death in children under 15 years in Manhica, Mozambique (Publications)
diseases accounted for 9.5% of the defined causes of death, and injuries for 3.9% of causes of deaths. Malaria was the single largest cause, accounting for 21.8% of cases. Pneumonia with 9.8% was the second leading [...] area. The pattern of childhood mortality in Manhica area is typical of developing countries where malaria, pneumonia and HIV/AIDS are important causes of death

anti-plasmodial activity, and reduced toxicity compared to other artemisinins in clinical use against malaria. We infected adult mice by subcutaneous injection of S. mansoni cercariae (about 200) and treated [...] release of the artemisone that was verified in vivo and in vitro bioassays using drug-sensitive malaria parasites. We found superior strong anti-schistosome effects up to a total reduction of worm number
An evidence synthesis approach for combining different data sources illustrated using entomological efficacy of insecticides for indoor residual... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Prospective malaria public health interventions are initially tested for entomological impact using standardised experimental hut trials. In some cases, data are collated as aggregated counts [...] residual spray (IRS) product active ingredient, used on wall surfaces to kill mosquitoes and reduce malaria transmission, were analysed using a series of statistical models to understand the benefits and
Attractive toxic sugar baits for controlling mosquitoes: a qualitative study in Bagamoyo, Tanzania (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Malaria elimination is unlikely to be achieved without the implementation of new vector control interventions capable of complementing insecticide-treated nets and indoor residual spraying [...] and provides important information for future trials investigating the efficacy of ATSBs against malaria. This new vector control tool will require sensitization at community level regarding its mode of

Assessments Genetically modified mosquitoes have great potential for malaria control. Any future use of gene drive mosquitoes for malaria control will require many elements, including policy, regulatory approvals [...] ions. On behalf of Target Malaria, Swiss TPH conducted a SEA scoping study on the potential use of Anopheles mosquitoes containing a gene drive construct to suppress malaria vector mosquitoes.
