Determining important parameters in the spread of malaria through the sensitivity analysis of a mathematical model (Publications)
We perform sensitivity analyses on a mathematical model of malaria transmission to determine the relative importance of model parameters to disease transmission and prevalence. We compile two sets of
Intermittent preventive treatment for malaria in infants: a decision-support tool for sub-Saharan Africa (Publications)
OBJECTIVE: To develop a decision-support tool to help policy-makers in sub-Saharan Africa assess whether intermittent preventive treatment in infants (IPTi) would be effective for local malaria contro
The influence of sensitisation to pollens and moulds on seasonal variations in asthma attacks (Publications)
No large study has described seasonal variation in asthma attacks in population based asthmatics in whom sensitisation to allergen has been measured.2,637 young adults with asthma living in 15 countri
A periodically-forced mathematical model for the seasonal dynamics of malaria in mosquitoes (Publications)
We describe and analyze a periodically-forced difference equation model for malaria in mosquitoes that captures the effects of seasonality and allows the mosquitoes to feed on a heterogeneous populati
Novel <em>in vivo</em> active anti-malarials based on a hydroxy-ethyl-amine scaffold (Publications)
A novel series of anti-malarials, based on a hydroxy-ethyl-amine scaffold, initially identified as peptidomimetic protease inhibitors is described. Combination of the hydroxy-ethyl-amine anti-malarial
An Increase in Bronchial Responsiveness is Associated with Continuing or Restarting Smoking (Publications)
Rationale: Bronchial responsiveness has been found to be associated with smoking, atopy and lower lung function in cross-sectional studies, but there is little information on determinants of change in
