Purpose: The temporal and spatial formation of the temperature field and its changes during/upon water-filtered infrared-A (wIRA)-irradiation in porcine skin and subcutis were investigated in vivo in
Eave ribbons treated with transfluthrin can protect both users and non-users against malaria vectors (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Eave ribbons treated with spatial repellents effectively prevent human exposure to outdoor-biting and indoor-biting malaria mosquitoes, and could constitute a scalable and low-cost supplem

Associations of various nighttime noise exposure indicators with objective sleep efficiency and self-reported sleep quality: a field study (Publications)
It is unclear which noise exposure time window and noise characteristics during nighttime are most detrimental for sleep quality in real-life settings. We conducted a field study with 105 volunteers w
Guidance for studies evaluating the accuracy of tuberculosis triage tests (Publications)
Approximately 3.6 million cases of active tuberculosis (TB) go potentially undiagnosed annually, partly due to limited access to confirmatory diagnostic tests, such as molecular assays or mycobacteria
Spatial effects of permethrin-impregnated bed nets on child mortality: 26 years on, a spatial reanalysis of a cluster randomized trial (Publications)
In addition to the direct effect of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs), there has been evidence for spatial indirect effects. Spatial analyses in cluster randomized trials (CRTs) are rare, but a large-sc
