Alterations in local chromatin environment are involved in silencing and activation of subtelomeric var genes in <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> (Publications)
family, undergoes antigenic variation and plays an important role in chronic infection and severe malaria. Only a single var gene is transcribed per parasite, and epigenetic control mechanisms are fundamental
Antimalarials in the treatment of schistosomiasis (Publications)
experiences made thus far from clinical studies. We conclude that a closer collaboration between the malaria and schistosomiasis communities might facilitate the discovery and development of novel antischistosomal
New amidated 3,6-diphenylated imidazopyridazines with potent antiplasmodium activity are dual inhibitors of <em>Plasmodium... (Publications)
idazines have demonstrated impressive in vitro activity and in vivo efficacy in mouse models of malaria infection. Herein, we report the synthesis and antiplasmodium evaluation of a new series of amidated

sub-micromolar range against Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and Trypanosoma cruzi, as well as the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, which lack trypanothione metabolism. The inhibitors exhibit strong
Rapid mapping of schistosomiasis and other neglected tropical diseases in the context of integrated control programmes in Africa (Publications)
lessons from the mapping of human helminth infections may also be relevant for the rapid mapping of malaria as its control efforts are intensified
Strategies for conducting <em>Anopheles stephensi </em>surveys in non-endemic areas (Publications)
Anopheles stephensi, a malaria vector species previously only known from Asia, was first detected in Africa in Djibouti in 2012, has been subsequently collected in Ethiopia, Sudan, and Somalia, and may
New acyl derivatives of 3-aminofurazanes and their antiplasmodial activities (Publications)
An N-acylated furazan-3-amine of a Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV) project has shown activity against different strains of Plasmodium falciparum. Seventeen new derivatives were prepared and tested
Spirombandakamine A3 and cyclombandakamines A8 and A9, polycyclic naphthylisoquinoline dimers, with antiprotozoal activity, from a Congolese... (Publications)
potent growth-inhibitory activity against Plasmodium falciparum, the protozoal pathogen causing malaria, and moderate effects on Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense, the parasite responsible for African sleeping

Comparative functional survival and equivalent annual cost of 3 long-lasting insecticidal net (LLIN) products in Tanzania: a randomised trial with... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Two billion long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) have been procured for malaria control. A functional LLIN is one that is present, is in good physical condition, and remains insecticidal [...] monitor their comparative durability to ensure that the most cost-effective products are procured for malaria control.
