Estimating malaria transmission through mathematical models (Publications)
Evaluating the effectiveness of malaria control interventions on the basis of their impact on transmission is increasingly important as countries move from malaria control to pre-elimination programs. [...] Mathematical modeling can examine relationships between malaria indicators, allowing translation of easily measured data into measures of transmission, and addressing key concerns with traditional methods [...] Simulations show these indicators are statistically correlated, allowing direct...
High throughput multiplex assay for species identification of Papua New Guinea malaria vectors: members of the <em>Anopheles punctulatus</em>... (Publications)
Malaria and filariasis are transmitted in the Southwest Pacific region by Anopheles punctulatus sibling species including An. punctulatus, An. koliensis, the An. farauti complex 1-8 (includes An. hinesorum
Malaria and soil-transmitted intestinal helminth co-infection and its effect on anemia: a meta-analysis (Publications)
effect of malaria and STH on anemia. A subgroup analysis showed a higher risk of malaria infection in the primigravidae (summary OR: 1.61; 95% CI: 1.3-1.99; I(2): 0%). In conclusion, the malaria-STH co-infection [...] evidence on the extent of malaria and soil-transmitted intestinal helminth (STH) co-infections in people living in endemic countries and to explore the effect of interactions between malaria and STHs on anemia [...] of the association between anemia and the combined malaria and STH...
A molecular marker of artemisinin-resistant <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> malaria (Publications)
Plasmodium falciparum resistance to artemisinin derivatives in southeast Asia threatens malaria control and elimination activities worldwide. To monitor the spread of artemisinin resistance, a molecular
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
Critical evaluation of molecular monitoring in malaria drug efficacy trials and pitfalls of length-polymorphic markers (Publications)
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
