RESULTS: Among the 762 respondents [...] physical activity (83.5%) as being helpful for the depression vignette. LIMITATIONS: No probes used for open questions, and findings generalizable only to gay men in the sampling scheme. CONCLUSIONS: There are

Self-reported blood in urine - [...] supply at the workplace needs to be considered as well next to the water supply at home. Crossing of open water sources is an important risk factor for sustained transmission of schistosomiasis.

We then calibrate OpenMalaria , the malaria transmission simulation platform developed in-house, to quantify the transmission [...] malaria chemoprevention to children until 10 in few regions or until 5 in a larger area. We use again OpenMalaria to project the impact of the interventions on prevalence, incidence and severe cases. We provide
