Characterization of novel antimalarial compound ACT-451840: preclinical assessment of activity and dose-efficacy modeling (Publications)
cycle stages of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum (asexual and sexual) and Plasmodium vivax (asexual) as well as oral in vivo efficacies in two murine malaria models that permit infection [...] determination of the dose-efficacy relationship of ACT-451840 under curative conditions in rodent malaria models allowed prediction of the human efficacious exposure. CONCLUSION: The dual activity of ACT-451840
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

Laboratory-based efficacy evaluation of <em>Bacillus thuringiensis</em> var. <em>israelensis </em>and temephos larvicides against larvae of... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Malaria, transmitted by the bite of infective female Anopheles mosquitoes, remains a global public health problem. The presence of an invasive Anopheles stephensi, capable of transmitting [...] The ecology of An. stephensi is different from that of Anopheles arabiensis, the primary Ethiopian malaria vector, and this suggests that alternative control strategies may be necessary. Larviciding may be
