Estimation of malaria-attributable fever in malaria test-positive febrile outpatients in three provinces of Mozambique, 2018 (Publications)
estimate the proportion of malaria-attributable fevers in malaria test-positive febrile patients. Depending on the antigen, estimated rates of malaria-attributable fever in malaria test-positive febrile patients [...] Like most malaria-endemic countries, Mozambique relies on tabulation of confirmed malaria test-positive febrile patients to track incidence of malaria. However, this approach is potentially biased by [...] indicate that most malaria test-positive febrile patients in the three...
Self-diagnosis of malaria by travellers: a cohort study on the use of malaria rapid diagnostic tests provided by a Swiss travel clinic (Publications)
with malaria and self-treated successfully. This strategy allows prompt treatment for malaria in high-risk groups and may avoid over-diagnosis (and subsequent inappropriate treatment) of malaria on-site [...] BACKGROUND: The WHO recommends that all suspect malaria cases be tested before receiving treatment. Rapid diagnostic tests (RDT) for malaria can be performed reliably by community health workers with no [...] procedure on how to perform the test and act on its result. The travellers were...
Impact of malaria interventions on child mortality in endemic African settings: comparison and alignment between LiST and Spectrum-Malaria model (Publications)
function of baseline malaria endemicity, seasonality in transmission and malaria intervention coverage levels (estimated for years 2000 to 2015 by the World Health Organization and Malaria Atlas Project). [...] Spectrum-Malaria projects larger proportional impacts, reflecting onward dynamic effects not fully captured by LiST. CONCLUSIONS: Spectrum-Malaria complements LiST by extending the scope of malaria interventions [...] BACKGROUND: In malaria-endemic countries, malaria prevention and...
Assessment of ultra-sensitive malaria diagnosis versus standard molecular diagnostics for malaria elimination: an in-depth molecular community... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Submicroscopic malaria infections contribute to transmission in exposed populations but their extent is underestimated even by standard molecular diagnostics. Sophisticated sampling and ul [...] sensitive methods with the aim to understand what diagnostic sensitivity is necessary to guide malaria interventions. METHODS: Venous blood samples were collected from participants in a cross-sectional
