   Estimating malaria transmission intensity from <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> serological data using antibody density models

   Relevance:

   BACKGROUND: Serological data are increasingly being used to monitor malaria transmission intensity and have been demonstrated to be particularly useful in areas of low transmission where traditional measures

   The effects of an oil and wheat flour fortification program on pre-school children and women of reproductive age living in Côte d'Ivoire, a malaria-endemic area

   Relevance:

   Anemia and micronutrient deficiencies are widespread in sub-Saharan Africa, but the impact of food fortification is still debated. The objective of this study was to estimate the iron and vitamin A st

3. Policy analysis for deciding on a malaria vaccine RTS,S in Tanzania (Publications)

   Policy analysis for deciding on a malaria vaccine RTS,S in Tanzania

   Relevance:

   stakeholders in Tanzania to assess malaria treatment policy changes and to draw lessons for malaria vaccine adoption. RESULTS: The decision-making process for adopting malaria interventions and new vaccines [...] policy makers and stimulate the decision-making process. In the case of the proposed introduction of malaria vaccines in Tanzania, a specific framework for decision-making will speed up the administrative process [...] Promoting factors include; epidemiological and intervention...

4. Operational strategies of anti-malarial drug campaigns for malaria elimination in Zambia's southern province: a simulation study (Publications)

   Operational strategies of anti-malarial drug campaigns for malaria elimination in Zambia's southern province: a simulation study

   Relevance:

   strategies for parasite clearance in southern province. METHODS: OpenMalaria, a discrete-time, individual-based stochastic model of malaria, was parameterized for the study area to simulate anti-malarial drug [...] BACKGROUND: Malaria elimination requires reducing both the potential of mosquitoes to transmit parasites to humans and humans to transmit parasites to mosquitoes. To achieve this goal in Southern province

5. Comparative performance of three experimental hut designs for measuring malaria vector responses to insecticides in Tanzania (Publications)

   Comparative performance of three experimental hut designs for measuring malaria vector responses to insecticides in Tanzania

   Relevance:

   BACKGROUND: Experimental huts are simplified, standardized representations of human habitations that provide model systems to evaluate insecticides used in indoor residual spray (IRS) and long-lasting

   Identification of new human malaria parasite <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> dihydroorotate dehydrogenase inhibitors by pharmacophore and structure-based virtual screening

   Relevance:

   Plasmodium falciparum dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (PfDHODH), a key enzyme in the de novo pyrimidine biosynthesis pathway, which the Plasmodium falciparum relies on exclusively for survival, has emerg

   Mapping hotspots of malaria transmission from pre-existing hydrology, geology and geomorphology data in the pre-elimination context of Zanzibar, United Republic of Tanzania

   Relevance:

   BackgroundLarval source management strategies can play an important role in malaria elimination programmes, especially for tackling outdoor biting species and for eliminating parasite and vector populations [...] larval source management requires tools for identifying geographic foci of vector proliferation and malaria transmission where these efforts may be concentrated. Previous studies have relied on surface topographic [...] examine the relationship between dry and wet season spatial...

    Estimating malaria burden in Nigeria: a geostatistical modelling approach

    Relevance:

    This study has produced a map of malaria prevalence in Nigeria based on available data from the Mapping Malaria Risk in Africa (MARA) database, including all malaria prevalence surveys in Nigeria that [...] correlating with malaria presence were land surface temperature for day and rainfall. It was also found that malaria prevalence increased with distance to water bodies up to 4 km. The malaria risk map estimated [...] low malaria prevalence were found to be scattered around the country with...
