Impact of malaria pre-exposure on anti-parasite cellular and humoral immune responses after controlled human malaria infection (Publications)
understand the effect of previous malaria exposure on anti-parasite immune responses is important for developing successful immunization strategies. Controlled human malaria infections (CHMI) using cryopreserved [...] sporozoites provide a unique opportunity to study differences in acquisition or re-call of anti-malaria immune responses in individuals from different transmission settings and genetic backgrounds. In [...] In this study, we compared anti-parasite humoral and cellular immune...
Relationship between child survival and malaria transmission: an analysis of the malaria transmission intensity and mortality burden across Africa... (Publications)
relationship between malaria mortality and levels of transmission is unclear. Due to methodological limitations, earlier efforts to assess the linkage have lead to inconclusive results. The malaria transmission [...] assessing the malaria transmission-mortality relation involves more than the knowledge on the performance of interventions and control measures. This relation depends on the levels of malaria endemicity and [...] age and insecticide-treated nets (ITNs), were fitted to assess the...
