Identification of cryptic <em>Anopheles</em> mosquito species by molecular protein profiling (Publications)
Vector control is the mainstay of malaria control programmes. Successful vector control profoundly relies on accurate information on the target mosquito populations in order to choose the most appropriate
Cloning of the repertoire of individual <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> var genes using Transformation Associated Recombination (TAR) (Publications)
One of the major virulence factors of the malaria causing parasite is the Plasmodium falciparum encoded erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1). It is translocated to It the membrane of infected erythrocytes

How much remains undetected? Probability of molecular detection of human <em>Plasmodia</em> in the field (Publications)
BACKGROUND: In malaria endemic areas, most people are simultaneously infected with different parasite clones. Detection of individual clones is hampered when their densities fluctuate around the detection
