analyzed, communicable diseases represented the leading causes (58.9%), with most deaths attributed to malaria (n=129), acute respiratory tract infections (n=110), HIV/AIDS (n=80), and pulmonary tuberculosis
<em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> heterochromatin protein 1 marks genomic loci linked to phenotypic variation of exported virulence factors (Publications)
Epigenetic processes are the main conductors of phenotypic variation in eukaryotes. The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum employs antigenic variation of the major surface antigen PfEMP1, encoded by

How much remains undetected? Probability of molecular detection of human <em>Plasmodia</em> in the field (Publications)
BACKGROUND: In malaria endemic areas, most people are simultaneously infected with different parasite clones. Detection of individual clones is hampered when their densities fluctuate around the detection
Identification of cryptic <em>Anopheles</em> mosquito species by molecular protein profiling (Publications)
Vector control is the mainstay of malaria control programmes. Successful vector control profoundly relies on accurate information on the target mosquito populations in order to choose the most appropriate
