Anémie dans une école du Cambodge rural: détection, prévalence et liens avec les parasitoses intestinales et la malnutrition (Publications)
iron deficiency intestinal worms and malaria. A two month transversal study was conducted in a rural primary school in Battambang Province, Cambodia, in a malaria-free area. The main objective of the study
Antigenicity and immunogenicity of a novel <em>Plasmodium vivax</em> circumsporozoite derived synthetic vaccine construct (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The circumsporozoite (CS) protein is a major malaria sporozoite surface antigen currently being considered as vaccine candidate. Plasmodium vivax CS (PvCS) protein comprises a dimorphic central [...] VK210 and VK247. We studied the natural immune response to this region in human sera from different malaria-endemic areas and its immunogenicity in mice. RESULTS: PvNR1R2 was more frequently recognized by

Blood-fed mosquitoes from pit traps outdoors, exit traps on windows and ind [...] of DDT was perceived as a disadvantage, whereas lambda-cyhalothrin apparently had more impact on malaria transmission by An.arabiensis.
Urban agricultural land use and characterization of mosquito larval habitats in a medium-sized town of Côte d'Ivoire (Publications)
urban dwellers. Some crop systems create suitable mosquito breeding sites and thus might affect malaria transmission. The purpose of this study was to identify, map, and characterize potential mosquito [...] and rice paddies. Our findings have important bearings for the epidemiology and control of urban malaria in sub-Saharan Africa
Molecular epidemiology of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> infections among asymptomatic inhabitans of a holoendemic malarious area in northern Ghana (Publications)
Age dependence of malaria infection was assessed in an age-stratified cluster sample of 308 individuals from Kassena-Nankana District of northern Ghana during June and July 2000. Overall prevalence of [...] holoendemic sites in Africa, validating the use of the age-multiplicity relationship as an indicator of malaria endemicity.
drLumi: an open-source package to manage data, calibrate, and conduct quality control of multiplex bead-based immunoassays data analysis (Publications)
bead-based immunoassay in a study aiming to measure correlates of risk or protection from malaria of the RTS,S malaria vaccine nested in the Phase 3 randomized controlled trial of this vaccine.
Blood transfusion for severe anaemia in children in a Kenyan hospital [Research letter] (Publications)
Severe anaemia often secondary to malaria is a major contributor to child mortality in sub-Saharan Africa. We have confirmed that use of simple clinical and laboratory criteria can identify those children

<em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> and <em>Plasmodium vivax</em> genotypes and efficacy of intermittent preventive treatment in Papua New Guinea (Publications)
Intermittent preventive treatment of infants (IPTi) reduces early-childhood malaria-related morbidity. While genotypic drug resistance markers have proven useful in predicting the efficacy of antimalarial
