Strategies for understanding and reducing the <em>Plasmodium vivax</em> and <em>Plasmodium ovale</em> hypnozoite reservoir in Papua New Guinean... (Publications)
undetectable hypnozoite reservoir for relapsing Plasmodium vivax and P. ovale malarias presents a major challenge for malaria control and elimination in endemic countries. This study aims to directly determine
Small-scale field evaluation of PermaNet® Dual (a long-lasting net coated with a mixture of chlorfenapyr and deltamethrin) against... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Due to the rapid expansion of pyrethroid-resistance in malaria vectors in Africa, Global Plan for Insecticide Resistance Management (GPIRM) has recommended the development of long-lasting [...] populations. PermaNet((R)) Dual thus represents a promising tool, with a high potential to reduce malaria transmission and provide community protection in areas compromised by mosquito vector resistance
