Combating poor‑quality anti‑malarial medicines: a call to action (Publications)
medicines appear to have been particularly compromised and present a major public health threat in malaria-endemic countries, negatively affecting individuals and their communities. Concerted collaborative [...] their actions in these critical areas and thus effectively support global health development and malaria elimination programmes.

analysis or three urine samples (S. haematobium trial) for urine filtration and one finger prick for malaria screening at baseline and follow-up. Participants were randomly assigned to either moxidectin, Synriam [...] hence an ancillary benefit is not expected when these drugs are used for treating onchocerciasis and malaria in co-endemic settings. Further studies are needed to corroborate our findings that moxidectin and
Improving methods for analysing anti-malarial drug efficacy trials: molecular correction based on length-polymorphic markers <em>msp</em>-1,... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Drug efficacy trials monitor the continued efficacy of front-line drugs against falciparum malaria. Over-estimates of efficacy result in a country retaining a failing drug as first-line treatment [...] modelling to simulate parasite dynamics and genetic signals that occur in patients enrolled in malaria drug clinical trials. We compared estimates of treatment failure obtained from a selection of proposed

emerged as a promising blood-stage candidate antigen for inclusion into a broadly cross-reactive malaria vaccine. This highly conserved protein among various geographical strains plays a key role in the [...] falciparum merozoites, and antibodies against PfCyRPA can efficiently prevent the entry of the malaria parasites into red blood cells. The aim of the present study was to develop a humancompatible formulation
Attractive toxic sugar baits for controlling mosquitoes: a qualitative study in Bagamoyo, Tanzania (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Malaria elimination is unlikely to be achieved without the implementation of new vector control interventions capable of complementing insecticide-treated nets and indoor residual spraying [...] and provides important information for future trials investigating the efficacy of ATSBs against malaria. This new vector control tool will require sensitization at community level regarding its mode of
