Effect of an armed conflict on relative socioeconomic position of rural households: case study from western Côte d'Ivoire (Publications)
and civilians. METHODS: We conducted a secondary analysis of data pertaining to risk factors for malaria and neglected tropical diseases. Standardized questionnaires were administered to 182 households
Widespread occurrence of copy number variants and fixation of pyrethroid target site resistance in <em>Anopheles gambiae </em>(s.l.) from southern... (Publications)
Resistance to pyrethroid and organophosphate insecticides in the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae (s.l.) is conferred by a variety of genetic mutations, including single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)
Associations between the use of insecticide-treated nets in early childhood and educational outcomes, marriage and child-bearing in early adulthood:... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The effectiveness of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) in preventing malaria in young children is well established. However, the long-term effects of early childhood ITN use on educational outcomes
The Centres for Disease Control light trap (CDC-LT) and the human decoy trap (HDT) compared to the human landing catch (HLC) for measuring... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Vector mosquito biting intensity is an important measure to understand malaria transmission. Human landing catch (HLC) is an effective but labour-intensive, expensive, and potentially hazardous
The health impacts of climate change and variability in developing countries (Publications)
the distribution and seasonal transmission of several vector-borne infectious diseases (such as malaria and dengue) may be affected by climate change. Altered distribution of some vector species may be
An autoencoder and artificial neural network-based method to estimate parity status of wild mosquitoes from near-infrared spectra (Publications)
acquiring blood, they may acquire pathogens, which may cause different diseases in humans such as malaria, zika, dengue, and chikungunya. Therefore, knowing the parity status of mosquitoes is useful in control
Trends of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> molecular markers associated with resistance to artemisinins and reduced susceptibility to lumefantrine in... (Publications)
Photo-induced electron transfer polymerase chain reaction (PET-PCR) was used to confirm presence of malaria parasites before capillary sequencing, which targeted two genes: Plasmodium falciparum kelch 13 propeller
Time series analysis of survival and oviposition cycle duration of <em>Anopheles funestus</em> (Giles) in Mozambique (Publications)
Survival and gonotrophic cycle duration are important determinants of the vectorial capacity of malaria vectors but there are a limited number of approaches to estimate these quantities from field data
A nationwide survey of the quality of antimalarials in retail outlets in Tanzania (Publications)
INTRODUCTION: Retail pharmaceutical products are commonly used to treat fever and malaria in sub-Saharan African countries. Small scale studies have suggested that poor quality antimalarials are widespread
