Generalized seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average models for count data with application to malaria time series with low case numbers (Publications)
INTRODUCTION: With the renewed drive towards malaria elimination, there is a need for improved surveillance tools. While time series analysis is an important tool for surveillance, prediction and for
Determining treatment needs at different spatial scales using geostatistical model-based risk estimates of schistosomiasis (Publications)
BACKGROUND: After many years of neglect, schistosomiasis control is going to scale. The strategy of choice is preventive chemotherapy, that is the repeated large-scale administration of praziquantel (
Evaluation of Olyset trade mark insecticide-treated nets distributed seven years previously in Tanzania (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Insecticide-treated nets represent currently a key malaria control strategy, but low insecticide re-treatment rates remain problematic. Olyset trade mark nets are currently one of two long
Frequency of haematuria and proteinuria among <em>Schistosoma haematobium</em> infected children of two communities from Liberia and Tanzania (Publications)
The frequencies of haematuria and proteinuria among children of two rural communities with different Schistosoma haematobium endemicity from Liberia and Tanzania were compared. Although the prevalence
Heterogeneous distribution of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> drug resistance haplotypes in subsets of the host population (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The emergence of drug resistance is a major problem in malaria control. For mathematical modelling of the transmission and spread of drug resistance the determinant parameters need to be i
Spatial distribution of the chromosomal forms of <em>anopheles gambiae</em> in Mali (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Maps of the distribution of malaria vectors are useful tools for stratification of malaria risk and for selective vector control strategies. Although the distribution of members of the Ano
