Blood transfusion for severe anaemia in children in a Kenyan hospital [Research letter] (Publications)
Severe anaemia often secondary to malaria is a major contributor to child mortality in sub-Saharan Africa. We have confirmed that use of simple clinical and laboratory criteria can identify those children
<em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> and <em>Plasmodium vivax</em> genotypes and efficacy of intermittent preventive treatment in Papua New Guinea (Publications)
Intermittent preventive treatment of infants (IPTi) reduces early-childhood malaria-related morbidity. While genotypic drug resistance markers have proven useful in predicting the efficacy of antimalarial
