variation in egg hatching and its environmental and genetic determinants in sibling species of the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae s.l. is important for understanding their adaptation to variable aquatic
Scalable camera traps for measuring the attractiveness of sugar baits for controlling malaria and dengue vectors (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Attractive targeted sugar baits (ATSBs) are promising new interventions that can complement existing vector control tools. However, reproducible and quantitative information on the level o
Impact of climate variability and interventions on malaria incidence and forecasting in Burkina Faso (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Malaria remains a climate-driven public health issue in Burkina Faso, yet the interactions between climatic factors and malaria interventions across different zones are not well understood [...] suitability and malaria incidence. Wavelet analysis was conducted to understand better how fluctuations in climatic factors across different time scales and climatic zones affect malaria transmission dynamics [...] . This study estimates time delays in the effects of climatic factors on malar...
Travel to malaria-endemic areas: using digital geo-location to assess potential exposure risks and health behaviours (Publications)
and Tanzania, each presenting varying malaria risks. The extent to which travellers enter high-risk malaria-endemic areas in destinations with heterogeneous malaria risk remains unclear. We used geo-location [...] heterogeneous malaria risk (Brazil, India, Peru, Thailand), and (ii) compare mosquito bite prevention behaviours between these destinations and Tanzania, considered entirely high-risk for malaria. METHODS: [...] health and geo-location data were collected using a smartphone...
Outpatient treatment of imported uncomplicated <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> malaria: results from a survey among TropNet and GeoSentinel experts for... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Plasmodium falciparum malaria (P.f. malaria) is frequently imported to non-endemic countries. Recommendations on outpatient treatment differ largely due to differences in country-level guidelines [...] TropNet or GeoSentinel referral centres for tropical medicine outside malaria endemic areas investigated common practices in P.f. malaria management, selection criteria for outpatient management and diagnostic [...] of the centres are located in Europe (n = 37). Overall, 27 centres...
