Massive Open Online Course on Insecticide Resistance Management (Projects)
https://www.swisstph.ch/de/projects/project-detail/project/massive-open-online-course-on-insecticide-resistance-management
the authoritative resource for Insecticide Resistance Management (IRM) in the mosquito vectors of malaria. However, IRM is an applied science, and there is a need to translate theory into practice. Whilst [...] to anyone, but will be specifically designed for, and promoted to, those involved with practical malaria vector control.

parasite is dominant. This compartmental model accounts specifically for the liver stages of P. vivax malaria and it has recently been refined to include imported infections as well as treatment of blood and/or [...] data on reported local and imported cases, and it can be used to simulate the expected impact of malaria treatment schemes, vector control strategies, reactive interventions or mass drug administration

Molecular methods for tracking residual <em>Plasmodium falciparum </em>transmission in a close-to-elimination setting in Zanzibar (Publications)
essential for surveillance studies conducted to inform malaria control strategies in close-to-elimination settings. Molecular monitoring of residual malaria infections usually requires a large study size, therefore [...] screening large sample sets represents primarily a research tool that should inform the design of malaria elimination strategies. It may also prove beneficial for diagnostic tasks in surveillance-response
Resistance of <em>Anopheles stephensi</em> to selected insecticides used for indoor residual spraying and long-lasting insecticidal nets in Ethiopia (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Malaria, transmitted by the bite of infective female Anopheles mosquitoes, remains a global public health problem. The presence of invasive Anopheles stephensi, capable of transmitting Plasmodium [...] 2016. The ecology of this mosquito species differs from that of Anopheles arabiensis, the primary malaria vector in Ethiopia. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of selected insecticides, which are [...] are used in indoor residual spraying (IRS) and selected long-lasting...
The development of an ivermectin-based attractive toxic sugar bait (ATSB) to target <em>Anopheles arabiensis</em> (Publications)
Africa are moving towards malaria-elimination, mostly thanks to successful vector control campaigns. However, elimination has proven challenging, resulting in the persistence of malaria transmission. It is now [...] now accepted that in order to eliminate malaria, new complementary vector control approaches must be developed. This study describes the development of a sugar-baited resting place containing a toxic dose
Infection and co-infection with helminths and <em>Plasmodium</em> among school children in Côte d'Ivoire: results from a national cross-sectional... (Publications)
Helminth infection and malaria remain major causes of ill-health in the tropics and subtropics. There are several shared risk factors (e.g., poverty), and hence, helminth infection and malaria overlap geographically [...] provide a rationale to combine control interventions that simultaneously aim at helminthiases and malaria
Effects of changing mosquito host searching behaviour on the cost effectiveness of a mass distribution of long-lasting, insecticidal nets: a modelling... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The effectiveness of long-lasting, insecticidal nets (LLINs) in preventing malaria is threatened by the changing biting behaviour of mosquitoes, from nocturnal and endophagic to crepuscular [...] stochastic simulation models, we studied the impact of a mass LLIN distribution on Plasmodium falciparum malaria. Specifically, we looked at impact in terms of episodes prevented during the effective life of the [...] occur within the same mosquito population. LLINs are likely cost effective...
