Structural and functional characterisation of the toll like receptor 9 of <em>Aotus nancymaae</em>, a non-human primate model for malaria vaccine... (Publications)
In the absence of suitable rodent animal models for Plasmodium falciparum malaria, the efficacy testing of asexual blood-stage vaccine candidates in Aotus nancymaae represents a tool to select between [...] sequence conservation of Aona-TLR-9 reinforces the suitability of A. nancymaae as animal model for malaria subunit vaccine development
Cytochrome P450 6M2 from the malaria vector <em>Anopheles gambiae</em> metabolizes pyrethroids: sequential metabolism of deltamethrin revealed (Publications)
Resistance to pyrethroid insecticides in the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae is a major threat to malaria control programmes. Cytochome P450-mediated detoxification is an important resistance mechanism [...] metabolic resistance to pyrethroids and thus an important target for the design of new tools to combat malaria
Monitoring of larval habitats and mosquito densities in the Sudan savanna of Mali: implications for malaria vector control (Publications)
the rainy season, vector control in this small hamlet may be a cost-effective way to ameliorate malaria transmission in the 40-times larger village
Spatial analysis of malaria transmission parameters in the rice cultivation area of office du Niger, Mali (Publications)
The effects of rice growth environment on malaria transmission, taking into account spatial correlation, were assessed in the Office du Niger, Mali. Between April 1999 to January 2001, 8 quarterly entomologic [...] and showed low spatial correlations (up to 3.4 km), which suggested that small area variation in malaria transmission results mainly from variations in vector-human contact. Control strategies in rice
Intermittent treatment for malaria and anaemia control at time of routine vaccinations in Tanzania infants: a randomised, placebo-controlled trial (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Clinical malaria and severe anaemia are major causes of paediatric hospital admission and death in many malaria-endemic settings. In the absence of an effective and affordable vaccine, control [...] were not affected by the intervention. INTERPRETATION: This new approach to malaria control reduced the rate of clinical malaria and severe anaemia by delivering an available and affordable drug through [...] assess the efficacy and safety of intermittent sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine...
