Trends in reported malaria cases and the effects of malaria control in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Considerable upscaling of malaria control efforts have taken place over the last 15 years in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the country with the second highest malaria case load after N
Predicted temperature-increase-induced global health burden and its regional variability (Publications)
An increase in the global health burden of temperature was projected for 459 locations in 28 countries worldwide under four representative concentration pathway scenarios until 2099. We determined tha
Modelling the relationship between malaria prevalence as a measure of transmission and mortality across age groups (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Parasite prevalence has been used widely as a measure of malaria transmission, especially in malaria endemic areas. However, its contribution and relationship to malaria mortality across d
Exposure to nonmicrobial N-glycolylneuraminic acid protects farmers' children against airway inflammation and colitis (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Childhood exposure to a farm environment has been shown to protect against the development of inflammatory diseases, such as allergy, asthma, and inflammatory bowel disease. OBJECTIVE: We
Theory of reactive interventions in the elimination and control of malaria (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Reactive case detection (RCD) is an integral part of many malaria control and elimination programmes and can be conceived of as a way of gradually decreasing transmission. However, it is u
Videographic analysis of flight behaviours of host-seeking <em>Anopheles arabiensis</em> towards BG-Malaria trap (Publications)
The BG-Malaria trap (BGM) is an adaptation of the well-known BG-Sentinel trap (BGS) with greater trapping efficiencies for anopheline and culicine mosquitoes. Its continued optimization requires great
Kankanet: an artificial neural network-based object detection smartphone application and mobile microscope as a point-of-care diagnostic aid for... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Endemic areas for soil-transmitted helminthiases often lack the tools and trained personnel necessary for point-of-care diagnosis. This study pilots the use of smartphone microscopy and an
