Comparative performance of three experimental hut designs for measuring malaria vector responses to insecticides in Tanzania (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Experimental huts are simplified, standardized representations of human habitations that provide model systems to evaluate insecticides used in indoor residual spray (IRS) and long-lasting

therefore calls for necessary amendments to the current WHO recommendations for PCR correction of malaria drug trial endpoints. Accuracy of genotyping outcomes could be improved by separate amplification
Estimating malaria transmission intensity from <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> serological data using antibody density models (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Serological data are increasingly being used to monitor malaria transmission intensity and have been demonstrated to be particularly useful in areas of low transmission where traditional measures

Controlled human malaria infection (CHMI) by mosquito bite has been used to assess new anti-malaria interventions in > 1,500 volunteers since development of methods for infecting mosquitoes by feeding
Assessing the effects of malaria interventions on the geographical distribution of parasitaemia risk in Burkina Faso (Publications)
nationally representative household malaria survey in 2010/2011. The survey collected among others, information on malaria interventions, treatment choices and malaria parasite prevalence in children aged [...] residual spray (IRS), artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) coverage associated with childhood malaria parasite risk at national and sub-national level, after taking into account geographical disparities [...] where interventions are being effective. These outputs are valuable tools...
