Spatial analysis of malaria transmission parameters in the rice cultivation area of office du Niger, Mali (Publications)
The effects of rice growth environment on malaria transmission, taking into account spatial correlation, were assessed in the Office du Niger, Mali. Between April 1999 to January 2001, 8 quarterly entomologic [...] and showed low spatial correlations (up to 3.4 km), which suggested that small area variation in malaria transmission results mainly from variations in vector-human contact. Control strategies in rice
Malaria transmission dynamics in Niono, Mali: the effect of the irrigation systems (Publications)
The type of water management and drainage system could be a potential reason for variation in malaria transmission in rice cultivation areas. To investigate this we have compared the population dynamics [...] depth, i.e. casiers and hors-casiers, respectively in the Office du Niger, Mali. We also compared malaria transmission in areas with mixed and casiers plots. Larval collection was performed fortnightly with
Optimized Malaria-antigens delivered by immunostimulating reconstituted influenza virosomes (Publications)
Malaria remains a serious cause of morbidity and mortality in millions of individuals each year. The development of widespread resistance of the parasite to drugs as well as resistance of the transmitting [...] transmitting mosquito-vector to insecticides in combination with the poor economic situation of many malaria-endemic countries make the development of an effective and inexpensive treatment and prevention a main [...] appropriate conformation. Here, we review the development of a new...
Effect of repeated application of microbial larvicides on malaria transmission in central Côte d'Ivoire (Publications)
thuringiensis var israeliensis (Bti) and B. sphaericus (Bs) on different entomologic parameters of malaria transmission was investigated in a village in central Cote d'Ivoire. The study area was monitored [...] remained stable. In conclusion, microbial larvicides might play a role in an integrated approach for malaria control
