How effective is integrated vector management against malaria and lymphatic filariasis where the diseases are transmitted by the same vector? (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The opportunity to integrate vector management across multiple vector-borne diseases is particularly plausible for malaria and lymphatic filariasis (LF) control where both diseases are tra
Spatio-temporal distribution of soil-transmitted helminth infections in Brazil (Publications)
BACKGROUND: In Brazil, preventive chemotherapy targeting soil-transmitted helminthiasis is being scaled-up. Hence, spatially explicit estimates of infection risks providing information about the curre
