Cause-specific mortality in Africa and Asia: evidence from INDEPTH health and demographic surveillance system sites (Publications)
patterns among children and specifically for NCDs, external causes, pregnancy-related mortality, malaria, and HIV/AIDS. Comparisons will also be made where possible with other findings on mortality in the
Durability of Olyset campaign nets distributed between 2009 and 2011 in eight districts of Tanzania (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) are the first line choice for malaria vector control in sub-Saharan Africa, with most countries adopting universal coverage campaigns. However, there
The shape of the iceberg: quantification of submicroscopic <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> and<em> Plasmodium vivax </em>parasitaemia and... (Publications)
of low-density asymptomatic infections with concurrent gametocytes may be a stumbling block for malaria elimination. This study investigated the asymptomatic reservoir of Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium
A multiplex assay for the sensitive detection and quantification of male and female <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> gametocytes (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The transmission of malaria to mosquitoes depends on the presence of gametocytes that circulate in the peripheral blood of infected human hosts. Sensitive estimates of the densities of female

deletion surveillance strategy, 100 health facilities encompassing 10 regions of Tanzania enrolled malaria-suspected patients between February and July 2021. Of 7863 persons of all ages enrolled and providing

Fine-scale spatial and temporal variations in insecticide resistance in <em>Culex pipiens</em> complex mosquitoes in rural south-eastern Tanzania (Publications)
Culex could negatively influence the acceptability of other interventions such as those used against malaria mosquitoes.
CDC light traps underestimate the protective efficacy of an indoor spatial repellent against bites from wild <em>Anopheles arabiensis </em>mosquitoes... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Methods for evaluating efficacy of core malaria interventions in experimental and operational settings are well established but gaps exist for spatial repellents (SR). The objective of this
Accelerating towards <em>P. vivax</em> elimination with a novel serological test-and-treat strategy: a modelling case study in Brazil (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Plasmodium vivax malaria is challenging to control and eliminate. Treatment with radical cure drugs fails to target the hidden asymptomatic and hypnozoite reservoirs in populations. PvSeroTAT
Time series analysis of survival and oviposition cycle duration of <em>Anopheles funestus</em> (Giles) in Mozambique (Publications)
Survival and gonotrophic cycle duration are important determinants of the vectorial capacity of malaria vectors but there are a limited number of approaches to estimate these quantities from field data
