Haemolytic activity in the blood clot of <em>Aedes aegypti</em> (Publications)
In the present study it was demonstrated that mosquito blood clots contain a haemolytic principle which achieves haemolysis of washed erythrocytes in an isotonic medium. Proteinases are thought to pla
Mechanoreceptor--trypanosome interactions in the labrum of <em>Glossina</em>: fluid mechanics (Publications)
The fluid mechanics of the flow of blood through the labrum of Glossina is described in uninfected and trypanosome infected flies. The flow is characterised by the Reynolds number, and a frequency par
Safety of artemether-lumefantrine exposure in first trimester of pregnancy: an observational cohort (Publications)
BACKGROUND: There is limited data available regarding safety profile of artemisinins in early pregnancy. They are, therefore, not recommended by WHO as a first-line treatment for malaria in first trim
Investigating mosquito net durability for malaria control in Tanzania - attrition, bioefficacy, chemistry, degradation and insecticide resistance... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) are one of the major malaria vector control tools, with most countries adopting free or subsidised universal coverage campaigns of populations at-ris
The esterase patterns in the ovaries and the embryonated eggs of <em>Aedes aegypti</em> L. (Publications)
The esterases of Aedes aegypti were studied in the ovary before and during a gonotrophic cycle and also in fully embryonated eggs by means of disc electrophoresis. During oogenesis no significacant ch
