<em>Orientia tsutsugamushi </em>dynamics in vectors and hosts: ecology and risk factors for foci of scrub typhus transmission in northern Thailand (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Scrub typhus is an important neglected vector-borne zoonotic disease across the Asia-Pacific region, with an expanding known distribution. The disease ecology is poorly understood, despite
Cancer in HIV-positive and HIV-negative adolescents and young adults in South Africa: a cross-sectional study (Publications)

Analyzing the contributions of transdisciplinary research to the global sustainability agenda in African cities (Publications)
It is almost 6 years since the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted, and countries have less than 10 years to achieve the set targets. Unlike most of the world, sub-Saharan African c
Individual responses to a single oral dose of albendazole indicate reduced efficacy against soil-transmitted helminths in an area with high drug... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Albendazole (ALB) is administered annually to millions of children through global deworming programs targeting soil-transmitted helminths (STHs: Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura a
Unlocking the human factor to increase effectiveness and sustainability of malaria vector control (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Progress in the fight against malaria has stalled in recent years, highlighting the importance of new interventions and tailored approaches. A critical factor that must be considered acros
Investigating the association between long-term exposure to air pollution and greenness with mortality from neurological, cardio-metabolic and chronic... (Publications)
Long-term exposure to air pollution has been associated with increased natural-cause mortality, but the evidence on diagnoses-specific mortality outcomes is limited. Few studies have examined the pote
Using observed incidence to calibrate the transmission level of a mathematical model for <em>Plasmodium vivax</em> dynamics including case management... (Publications)
In this work, we present a simple and flexible model for Plasmodium vivax dynamics which can be easily combined with routinely collected data on local and imported case counts to quantify transmission
Risk factors and spatial distribution of <em>Schistosoma mansoni </em>infection among preschool-aged children in Blapleu, Biankouma district, Western... (Publications)
Schistosoma mansoni infection is common among school-age children (SAC) in western Cote d'Ivoire. Little is known on the infection rate of preschool-aged children (PSAC) due to epidemiological data de
The 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1 is an essential upstream activator of protein kinase A in malaria parasites (Publications)
Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) signalling is essential for the proliferation of Plasmodium falciparum malaria blood stage parasites. The mechanisms regulating t
