Structure–activity relationship studies and <em>Plasmodium</em> life cycle profiling identifies pan-active N-aryl-3-trifluoromethyl... (Publications)
Structure-activity relationship studies involving N-aryl-3-trifluoromethyl pyrido[1,2-a] benzimidazoles (PBI) identified several compounds possessing potent in vitro activities against the asexual blo
Single-dose tafenoquine to prevent relapse of <em>Plasmodium vivax</em> malaria (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Treatment of Plasmodium vivax malaria requires the clearing of asexual parasites, but relapse can be prevented only if dormant hypnozoites are cleared from the liver (a treatment termed "radical
Early antischistosomal leads identified from<em> in vitro</em> and<em> in vivo</em> screening of the Medicines for Malaria Venture pathogen box (Publications)
Facing an almost dry drug development pipeline, screening the Pathogen Box from the Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV), provides a unique opportunity to possibly expand the pool of potent molecules against
Nationwide school malaria parasitaemia survey in public primary schools, the United Republic of Tanzania (Publications)
school, malaria survey was implemented to assess the risk factors of malaria prevalence and bed net use among primary school children in mainland Tanzania. This allowed the mapping of malaria prevalence [...] for malaria infection and for bed net use while adjusting for school effect. RESULTS: In total, 49,113 children were interviewed and tested for malaria infection. The overall prevalence of malaria was [...] prevalence at council level and assessment of malaria risk factors among school...
The origins of malaria artemisinin resistance defined by a genetic and transcriptomic background (Publications)
The predisposition of parasites acquiring artemisinin resistance still remains unclear beyond the mutations in Pfk13 gene and modulation of the unfolded protein response pathway. To explore the chain
Measuring health facility readiness and its effects on severe malaria outcomes in Uganda (Publications)
role of health service delivery to the malaria decline in Uganda We developed a methodology to quantify health facility readiness and assessed its role on severe malaria outcomes among lower-level facilities [...] facilities (HCIIIs and HCIIs) in the country. Malaria data was extracted from the Health Management Information System (HMIS). General service and malaria-specific readiness indicators were obtained from the [...] factorial axes. Geostatistical models assessed the effect of facility...
Mass drug administration for malaria elimination: do we understand the settings well enough? (Publications)
tool for interrupting malaria transmission, but evidence from low endemicity settings is scarce. A trial in Zanzibar found that two rounds of MDA made no significant impact on malaria incidence, and many
