Next generation chemiluminescent probes for antimalarial drug discovery (Publications)
Malaria is caused by parasites of the Plasmodium genus and remains one of the most pressing human health problems. The spread of parasites resistant to or partially resistant to single or multiple dru
Acceptability and perceived feasibility of the <em>KaziKidz</em> health promotion intervention among educators and caregivers in schools from South... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Despite the uncontested benefits of physical activity, its promotion lags behind in the public health agenda of low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). School-based interventions are pro
Temperature, mosquito feeding status and mosquito density influence the measured bio-efficacy of insecticide-treated nets in cone assays (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The WHO cone bioassay is routinely used to evaluate the bioefficacy of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) for product pre-qualification and confirmation of continued ITN performance during op
DDT contamination in water resources of some African countries and its impact on water quality and human health (Publications)
Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) usage has been prohibited in developed nations since 1972 but is exempted for use in indoor residual spraying (IRS) in developing countries, including African cou
Activity refinement of aryl amino acetamides that target the <em>P. falciparum</em> STAR-related lipid transfer 1 protein (Publications)
Malaria is a devastating disease that causes significant morbidity worldwide. The development of new antimalarial chemotypes is urgently needed because of the emergence of resistance to frontline ther
Cross-sectional study of the burden and determinants of non-medical and opportunity costs of accessing chronic disease care in rural Tanzania (Publications)
OBJECTIVES: Countries in sub-Saharan Africa are seeking to improve access to healthcare through health insurance. However, patients still bear non-medical costs and opportunity costs in terms of lost
Seasonality of mortality under climate change: a multicountry projection study (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Climate change can directly impact temperature-related excess deaths and might subsequently change the seasonal variation in mortality. In this study, we aimed to provide a systematic and
Relative effects of climate factors and malaria control interventions on changes of parasitaemia risk in Burkina Faso from 2014 to 2017/2018 (Publications)
BACKGROUND: In Burkina Faso, the prevalence of malaria has decreased over the past two decades, following the scale-up of control interventions. The successful development of malaria parasites depends
Using a mobile nanopore sequencing lab for end-to-end genomic surveillance of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em>: a feasibility study (Publications)
Genomic epidemiology holds promise for malaria control and elimination efforts, for example by informing on Plasmodium falciparum genetic diversity and prevalence of mutations conferring anti-malarial
Randomized trial to improve children's body composition and micronutrient status among South African children (Publications)
INTRODUCTION: Physical activity (PA) promotion combined with multi-micronutrient supplementation (MMNS) among school-age children may reduce fat mass accrual and increase muscle mass through different
