   A comparative evaluation of mobile medical APPS (MMAS) for reading and interpreting malaria rapid diagnostic tests

   Relevance:

   Health Organization recommends confirmatory diagnosis by microscopy or malaria rapid diagnostic test (RDT) in patients with suspected malaria. In recent years, mobile medical applications (MMAs), which can interpret [...] falciparum blood samples at five dilutions ranging from 20 to 1000 parasites (p)/microlitre (microl) and malaria negative blood samples. The RDTs were performed in a controlled, laboratory setting by a trained [...] interpreting the Pf test line of RDTs at parasite densities...

   Evaluating putative repellent 'push' and attractive 'pull' components for manipulating the odour orientation of host-seeking malaria vectors in the peri-domestic space

   Relevance:

   BACKGROUND: Novel malaria vector control approaches aim to combine tools for maximum protection. This study aimed to evaluate novel and re-evaluate existing putative repellent 'push' and attractive 'pull' [...] 'pull' components for manipulating the odour orientation of malaria vectors in the peri-domestic space. METHODS: Anopheles arabiensis outdoor human landing catches and trap comparisons were implemented in [...] components led to a better understanding of their ability to affect...
