Cost-effectiveness of malaria intermittent preventive treatment in infants (IPTi) in Mozambique and the United Republic of Tanzania (Publications)
on the efficacy results of the intervention and on malaria incidence in the target population, an estimate was made of the number of clinical malaria episodes prevented. This number and an assumed cas [...] OBJECTIVE: To estimate the cost-effectiveness of malaria intermittent preventive treatment in infants (IPTi) using sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP). METHODS: In two previous IPTi trials in Ifakara (United [...] costs, was then assessed on the basis of these figures. FINDINGS: The cost per...
Methotrexate and aminopterin lack in vivo antimalarial activity against murine malaria species (Publications)
rheumatoid arthritis indicates that it could be safe and efficacious for treating malaria. We sought to establish a murine malaria model to study the mechanism of action and resistance of MTX and its analogue [...] receptor/transport to gain access to cells, their lack of efficacy against the four tested murine malaria species may be the result of inefficiency of drug transport
Synthetic GPI array to study antitoxic malaria response (Publications)
Parasite glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) is an important toxin in malaria disease, and people living in malaria-endemic regions often produce high levels of anti-GPI antibodies. The natural anti-GPI [...] on a synthetic GPI glycan array to correlate anti-GPI antibody levels and protection from severe malaria
