Habitat characterization and spatial distribution of <em>Anopheles </em>sp. mosquito larvae in Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) during an extended dry period (Publications)
INTRODUCTION: By 2030, more than 50% of the African population will live in urban areas. Controlling malaria reduces the disease burden and further improves economic development. As a complement to tr
Determining treatment needs at different spatial scales using geostatistical model-based risk estimates of schistosomiasis (Publications)
BACKGROUND: After many years of neglect, schistosomiasis control is going to scale. The strategy of choice is preventive chemotherapy, that is the repeated large-scale administration of praziquantel (
Evaluation of Olyset trade mark insecticide-treated nets distributed seven years previously in Tanzania (Publications)

Frequency of haematuria and proteinuria among <em>Schistosoma haematobium</em> infected children of two communities from Liberia and Tanzania (Publications)
The frequencies of haematuria and proteinuria among children of two rural communities with different Schistosoma haematobium endemicity from Liberia and Tanzania were compared. Although the prevalence
Heterogeneous distribution of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> drug resistance haplotypes in subsets of the host population (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The emergence of drug resistance is a major problem in malaria control. For mathematical modelling of the transmission and spread of drug resistance the determinant parameters need to be i
