Assessment of the effect of larval source management and house improvement on malaria transmission when added to standard malaria control strategies... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Due to outdoor and residual transmission and insecticide resistance, long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) will be insufficient as stand-alone malaria v
Indole and benzimidazole bichalcophenes: synthesis, DNA binding and antiparasitic activity (Publications)
A novel series of indole and benzimidazole bichalcophene diamidine derivatives were prepared to study their antimicrobial activity against the tropical parasites causing African sleeping sickness and
Strain diversity and the evolution of antibiotic resistance (Publications)
Drug resistance is best thought of as an ongoing biological process. Resistant bacteria must emerge, become established and ultimately transmit in order to be relevant to human health. In this context
Impact of malaria interventions on child mortality in endemic African settings: comparison and alignment between LiST and Spectrum-Malaria model (Publications)
BACKGROUND: In malaria-endemic countries, malaria prevention and treatment are critical for child health. In the context of intervention scale-up and rapid changes in endemicity, projections of interv
Long-term immune response to yellow fever vaccination in HIV-infected individuals depends on HIV-RNA suppression status: implications for vaccination... (Publications)
Background: In HIV-infected individuals the immune response over time to yellow fever vaccination (YFV) and the necessity for booster vaccination are not well understood. Methods: We studied 247 parti
Status of insecticide resistance in Papua New Guinea: an update from nation-wide monitoring of anopheles mosquitoes (Publications)
Insecticide resistance (IR) monitoring is an important component of vector-borne disease control. The last assessment of IR in Papua New Guinea (PNG) was conducted in 2010. Since then, vector populati
Status of soil-transmitted helminth infections in schoolchildren in Laguna Province, the Philippines: determined by parasitological and molecular... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Soil-transmitted helminths (STH) are the most common parasitic infections in impoverished communities, particularly among children. Current STH control is through school-based mass drug ad
