Living on the edge: a longitudinal study of <em>Anopheles funestus</em> in an isolated area of Mozambique (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Understanding the survival strategies of malaria vectors at the edges of their distribution, where they are under stress from environmental conditions, may lead to the development of novel
Alterations in local chromatin environment are involved in silencing and activation of subtelomeric var genes in <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> (Publications)
family, undergoes antigenic variation and plays an important role in chronic infection and severe malaria. Only a single var gene is transcribed per parasite, and epigenetic control mechanisms are fundamental
Antiprotozoal activities of traditional medicinal plants from the Garhwal region of North West Himalaya, India (Publications)
Garhwal region of North West Himalaya for the treatment of protozoal infections and fever including malaria. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In vitro activity against erythrocytic stages of Plasmodium falciparum was
Antigenic cross-reactivity between different alleles of the <em>Plasmodium falciparum </em>merozoite surface protein 2 (Publications)
encoding Plasmodium falciparum merozoite surface protein 2 (MSP2) was PCR amplified from blood of malaria patients, genotyped, and 19 distinct fragments were cloned and expressed in E. coli. The reactivity

sub-micromolar range against Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and Trypanosoma cruzi, as well as the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, which lack trypanothione metabolism. The inhibitors exhibit strong
Field evaluation of spatial repellency of metofluthrin-impregnated plastic strips against <em>Anopheles gambiae</em> complex in Bagamoyo, coastal... (Publications)
study reports the efficacy of the new prototypes of metofluthrin-impregnated plastic strips against malaria vectors, Anopheles gambiae complex, in the Kongo villages of Bagamoyo district in coastal Tanzania
Rapid mapping of schistosomiasis and other neglected tropical diseases in the context of integrated control programmes in Africa (Publications)
lessons from the mapping of human helminth infections may also be relevant for the rapid mapping of malaria as its control efforts are intensified
Complete structural assignment of serratol, a cembrane-type diterpene from <em>Boswellia serrata</em>, and evaluation of its antiprotozoal activity (Publications)
T. cruzi (Chagas' disease), Leishmania donovani (Kala-Azar), and Plasmodium falciparum (Tropical Malaria). It was found active against T. brucei and P. falciparum. These activities were 10- to 15-fold higher
Estimation of infection and recovery rates for highly polymorphic parasites when detectability is imperfect, using hidden Markov models (Publications)
implemented using Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation. The model is applied to a panel data set of malaria genotype data from a randomized controlled trial of bed nets in Tanzanian children aged 6-30 months
