Distribution of malaria exposure in endemic countries in Africa considering country levels of effective treatment (Publications)
for 43 countries in Africa using both empirical relationships (that do not allow for treatment) and OpenMalaria dynamic micro-simulation models (that explicitly include the effects of treatment). For each
Urban agriculture and <em>Anopheles</em> habitats in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania (Publications)
than 5% of the study area (total size 16.8 km2) was used for farming in backyard gardens and larger open spaces. The proportion of habitats containing Anopheles larvae was 1.7 times higher in agricultural
In vitro synergistic interaction between amide piplartine and antimicrobial peptide dermaseptin against <em>Schistosoma mansoni</em> schistosomula and... (Publications)
first report on the synergistic effect between piplartine and dermaseptin against S. mansoni and opens the route to further studies (e.g. in vivo) to characterize this combination in greater detail
Illness costs to households are a key barrier to access diagnostic and treatment services for tuberculosis in Tajikistan (Publications)
groups (community members, patients and providers). They were also highly consistent between the open discussion and the confidential rating. CONCLUSIONS: Illness-costs to households were identified as
Bayesian geostatistical modelling of soil-transmitted helminth survey data in the People's Republic of China (Publications)
high spatial resolution. Predictors were extracted from remote sensing and other readily accessible open-source databases. Advanced Bayesian variable selection methods were employed to develop a parsimonious
AnophelesModel: an R package to interface mosquito bionomics, human exposure and intervention effects with models of malaria intervention impact (Publications)
available for different geographical regions, we developed AnophelesModel. AnophelesModel is an online, open-access R package that quantifies the impact of vector control interventions depending on mosquito
Treatment strategies to control blood pressure in people with hypertension in Tanzania and Lesotho: a randomized clinical trial (Publications)
among persons with untreated hypertension in Africa. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: This was an open-label, parallel, 3-arm randomized clinical trial to evaluate noninferiority of a strategy starting
A cluster randomized trial assessing the effect of a digital health algorithm on quality of care in Tanzania (DYNAMIC study) (Publications)
. However, data from real-world randomized trials are lacking. We conducted a cluster randomized, open-label trial in Tanzania evaluating the use of a digital clinical decision support algorithm (CDSA)
Modelling reactive case detection strategies for interrupting transmission of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> malaria (Publications)
on strategies vary, and it is unclear which are most effective in achieving elimination. METHODS: OpenMalaria, an established individual-based stochastic model, was used to simulate RCD in a Zambia-like
An interactive application for malaria elimination transmission and costing in the Asia-Pacific (Publications)
method for communicating complex model results with a user-friendly and intuitive framework. Using open-source technologies, we designed and developed an interactive application to disseminate the modelling
