Financial costs of the Zanzibar elimination of schistosomiasis transmission project (Publications)
We estimated the financial costs of different interventions against urogenital schistosomiasis, implemented by the Zanzibar Elimination of Schistosomiasis Transmission (ZEST) project, on Pemba and Ung
Asthma in farm children is more determined by genetic polymorphisms and in non-farm children by environmental factors (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The asthma syndrome is influenced by hereditary and environmental factors. With the example of farm exposure, we study whether genetic and environmental factors interact for asthma. METHOD

Monitoring the genetic structure of pathogen populations may be an economical and sensitive approach to quantify the impact of control on transmission dynamics, highlighting the need for a better unde
Predicted impact of COVID-19 on neglected tropical disease programs and the opportunity for innovation (Publications)
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many key neglected tropical disease (NTD) activities have been postponed. This hindrance comes at a time when the NTDs are progressing towards their ambitious goals for 2
<em>In utero</em> exposure to threat of evictions and preterm birth: evidence from the United States (Publications)

Moving beyond simple descriptive statistics in the analysis of online wildlife trade: an example from clustering and ordination (Publications)
Collecting data for reports on online wildlife trade is resource-intensive and time-consuming. Learning often focuses on the main item traded by each country only. However, online trade is increasing,
Quest for a potent antimalarial drug lead: synthesis and evaluation of 6,7-dimethoxyquinazoline-2,4-diamines (Publications)
Quinazolines have long been known to exert varied pharmacologic activities that make them suitable for use in treating hypertension, viral infections, tumors, and malaria. Since 2014, we have synthesi
Parasite-host dynamics throughout antimalarial drug development stages complicate the translation of parasite clearance (Publications)
Ensuring continued success against malaria depends on a pipeline of new antimalarials. Antimalarial drug development utilizes pre-clinical murine and experimental human malaria infection studies to ev
