Prospective risk of morbidity in relation to malaria infection in an area of high endemicity of multiple species of <em>Plasmodium</em> (Publications)
Plasmodium malariae (13.8%), cross-sectional analysis found P. falciparum infection to be independent of the other species despite heterogeneities in transmission. Plasmodium vivax and P. malariae infections [...] health-center morbidity supported the idea that P. malariae infection protects against disease, but indicated greater protection against non-malaria than P. falciparum- associated fevers. Plasmodium vivax [...] infections were negatively correlated. Plasmodium malariae infection was...
Towards a comprehensive simulation model of malaria epidemiology and control (Publications)
SUMMARYPlanning of the control of Plasmodium falciparum malaria leads to a need for models of malaria epidemiology that provide realistic quantitative prediction of likely epidemiological outcomes of a [...] dynamics, limit the applicability of conventional deterministic malaria models. We use individual-based stochastic simulations of malaria epidemiology to predict the impacts of interventions on infection
The economic cost to households of childhood malaria in Papua New Guinea: a focus on intra-country variation (Publications)
BACKGROUND We compare direct and indirect household costs associated with malaria treatment for children
