Living on the edge: a longitudinal study of <em>Anopheles funestus</em> in an isolated area of Mozambique (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Understanding the survival strategies of malaria vectors at the edges of their distribution, where they are under stress from environmental conditions, may lead to the development of novel
<em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> centromeres display a unique epigenetic makeup and cluster prior to and during schizogony (Publications)
organisms. The centromeres of Plasmodium falciparum, the causative agent of the most severe form of malaria have been broadly mapped on most chromosomes, but their epigenetic composition remained undefined
Antigenic cross-reactivity between different alleles of the <em>Plasmodium falciparum </em>merozoite surface protein 2 (Publications)
encoding Plasmodium falciparum merozoite surface protein 2 (MSP2) was PCR amplified from blood of malaria patients, genotyped, and 19 distinct fragments were cloned and expressed in E. coli. The reactivity

Enrichment of a single clone from a high diversity library of phage-displayed antibodies by panning with<em> Anopheles gambiae </em>(Diptera:... (Publications)
suggest that the selection of sufficiently diverse antibody panels, from which mosquitocidal or malaria transmission-blocking antibodies can be isolated, may require improved selection methods or specifically
An efficient system to generate monoclonal antibodies against membrane-associated proteins by immunisation with antigen-expressing mammalian cells (Publications)
present study, we applied this approach successfully for three predicted GPI-anchored proteins of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. CONCLUSIONS: The described entirely cell-based technology is a fast
Field evaluation of spatial repellency of metofluthrin-impregnated plastic strips against <em>Anopheles gambiae</em> complex in Bagamoyo, coastal... (Publications)
study reports the efficacy of the new prototypes of metofluthrin-impregnated plastic strips against malaria vectors, Anopheles gambiae complex, in the Kongo villages of Bagamoyo district in coastal Tanzania
MAHRP2, an exported protein of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em>, is an essential component of Maurer's cleft tethers (Publications)
Summary Upon invasion into erythrocytes, the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum must refurbish the host cell. The objective of this study was to elucidate the location and function of MAHRP2 in these
