Measuring and characterizing night time human behaviour as it relates to residual malaria transmission in sub-Saharan Africa: a review of the... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Malaria cases and deaths decreased dramatically in recent years, largely due to effective vector control interventions. Persistence of transmission after good coverage has been achieved wi
Optimising decentralisation for the health sector by exploring the synergy of decision space, capacity and accountability: insights from the... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Several studies on decentralisation have used the 'decision space' approach to assess the breadth of space made available to decision-makers at lower levels of the health system. However,
The overlap between miscarriage and extreme preterm birth in a limited-resource setting on the Thailand-Myanmar border: a population cohort study (Publications)
Background : No universal demarcation of gestational age distinguishes miscarriage and stillbirth or extreme preterm birth (exPTB). This study provides a synopsis of outcome between 22 to /=22 weeks.
Performance of antigen concentration thresholds for attributing fever to malaria among outpatients in Angola (Publications)
The density of malaria parasites is a key determinant in whether or not an infected individual develops fever. While the pyrogenic threshold for malaria parasite density has been well-studied, there i
Rapid multiplex gene expression assays for monitoring metabolic resistance in the major malaria vector <em>Anopheles gambiae</em> (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Metabolic resistance of the major malaria vector Anopheles gambiae (s.l.) to insecticides is operationally significant, particularly in combination with target site resistance. However, de
Resource use, costs, and approval times for planning and preparing a randomized clinical trial before and after the implementation of the new Swiss... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The preparation of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) requires substantial resources and the administrative processes can be burdensome. To facilitate the conduct of RCTs it is important
