Investigating differences in village-level heterogeneity of malaria infection and household risk factors in Papua New Guinea (Publications)
Malaria risk is highly heterogeneous. Understanding village and household-level spatial heterogeneity of malaria risk can support a transition to spatially targeted interventions for malaria elimination [...] spatial heterogeneity of malaria risk and investigate the contribution of individual, household and environmental-level risk factors. Following a period of declining malaria prevalence, the prevalence [...] useful indicators of transmission hotspots and inform the development of tailored...
CRISPR/Cas9-engineered inducible gametocyte producer lines as a valuable tool for <em>Plasmodium falciparum </em>malaria transmission research (Publications)
The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum replicates inside erythrocytes in the blood of infected humans. During each replication cycle, a small proportion of parasites commits to sexual development and [...] In summary, we believe the iGP approach developed here will greatly expedite basic and applied malaria transmission stage research.
Should deep-sequenced amplicons become the new gold-standard for analysing malaria drug clinical trials? (Publications)
used to distinguish genotyping 'noise' from real low density signals, the local epidemiology of malaria transmission, and the potential impact of genetic signals from gametocytes. Results. AmpSeq greatly
Leucopenia and abnormal liver function in travellers on malaria chemoprophylaxis (Publications)
Of 2887 travellers between the years 1984-1985, 451 on prophylactic antimalarials were studied retrospectively for adverse haematological or hepatic drug reactions and compared to 296 drug non-users.
