Global fund financing to the 34 malaria-eliminating countries under the new funding model 2014-2017: an analysis of national allocations and regional... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria (GFATM) has been the largest financial supporter of malaria since 2002. In 2011, the GFATM transitioned to a new funding model (NFM) [...] NFM to the 34 malaria-eliminating countries. METHODS: Average annual disbursements under the old funding model were compared to average annual national allocations for all eligible 34 malaria-eliminating [...] funding declines for malaria investments in low transmission countries, the GFATM...
Epidemiological links between malaria parasitaemia and hypertension: findings from a population-based survey in rural Côte d'Ivoire (Publications)
between malaria parasitaemia and hypertension in Ivorian adults. METHODS: We estimated the adjusted odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of hypertension in relation to malaria parasitaemia [...] mmHg or clinician-diagnosed hypertension. RESULTS: Prevalence of malaria parasitaemia and hypertension were 10 and 22%, respectively. Malaria parasitaemia was negatively associated with hypertension in p [...] Participants having microscopic malaria parasitaemia with elevated body...

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
Changes in malaria burden and transmission in sentinel sites after the roll-out of long-lasting insecticidal nets in Papua New Guinea (Publications)
exhibits a complex malaria epidemiology due to diversity in malaria parasites, mosquito vectors, human hosts, and their natural environment. Heterogeneities in transmission and burden of malaria at various scales [...] scales are likely to affect the success of malaria control interventions, and vice-versa.

Spatially variable risk factors for malaria in a geographically heterogeneous landscape, western Kenya: an explorative study (Publications)
factors for malaria can give insight into which human and environmental characteristics play important roles in sustaining malaria transmission. METHODS: On Rusinga Island, western Kenya, malaria infection [...] negatively associated with malaria prevalence. DISCUSSION: Identification of risk factors for malaria that vary geographically can provide insight into the local epidemiology of malaria. Examining spatially [...] Combining the data from both surveys, overall malaria prevalence was 24 %....
A malaria risk map of Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo (Publications)
This study presents the first malaria risk map of Kinshasa, a mega city of roughly 10 million inhabitants and located in a highly endemic malaria zone. Prevalence of malaria, anaemia and reported fever was [...] prevalence for malaria and anaemia was 6.4 % (5.6-7.4) and 65.1 % (63.7-66.6) in 2009, and 17.0 % (15.7-18.3) and 64.2 % (62.6-65.9) in 2011. In two HZs sampled in both surveys, malaria prevalence was [...] BACKGROUND: In Kinshasa, malaria remains a major public health problem but its...
Ecological drivers of <em>Mansonella perstans</em> infection in Uganda and patterns of co-endemicity with lymphatic filariasis and malaria (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Mansonella perstans is a widespread, but relatively unknown human filarial parasite transmitted by Culicoides biting midges. Although it is found in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa, only
