Pharmacokinetics-pharmacodynamics analysis of spiroindolone analogs and KAE609 in a murine malaria model (Publications)
selected class representative. Dose-response efficacy studies were conducted in the P. berghei murine malaria model and the relationship between dose and efficacy (i.e. reduction in parasitemia) was examined [...] of 30 are likely to result in maximum reduction in parasitemia in the P. berghei mouse model of malaria. This information could be used to prioritize analogs within the same class of compounds and contribute
Antibody and T cell responses associated with experimental human malaria infection or vaccination show limited relationships (Publications)
examined specific antibody and T cell responses associated with experimental malaria infection or malaria vaccination, in malaria-naive human volunteers within phase I/IIa vaccine trials, with a view to [...] investigating inter-relationships between these types of response. Malaria infection was via 5 bites of Plasmodium falciparum-infected mosquitos, with individuals reaching patent infection by 11-12 days [...] class switching was seen from an early IgM to an IgG1-dominant response of...
Design of a phase III cluster randomized trial to assess the efficacy and safety of a malaria transmission blocking vaccine (Publications)
falciparum malaria transmission targeting sexual, sporogonic, or mosquito-stage antigens (SSM-VIMT) are currently under development to reduce malaria transmission. An international group of malaria experts [...] estimates suggest that such a trial is feasible, and within the range of previously supported trials of malaria interventions, although substantial issues to implementation exist.
Mass screening and treatment on the basis of results of a <em>Plasmodium</em> <em>falciparum</em>-specific rapid diagnostic test did not reduce... (Publications)

RESULTS: Approximately 64% [...] carriers) did not reduce subsequent malaria incidence compared with control areas. CONCLUSIONS: Highly sensitive point-of-care diagnostic tools for detection of all human malaria species are needed to make MSAT [...] BACKGROUND: Seasonal increases in malaria continue in hotspots in...
