Molecular approaches to field studies of malaria (Publications)
'Molecular Approaches to Malaria' conference was held in Lorne, Australia, in February 2008 and provided extensive information on the application of molecular tools in field studies on malaria. In recent years [...] years, technological advances and capacity building in malaria-endemic countries have permitted molecular tools to be applied much more frequently and successfully with exciting new findings. In this review

with prospective risk of clinical malaria in children (relative risk = 1.487, P = 0.013). Such an association was also found for the present risk of clinical malaria in infants receiving prophylaxis (odds [...] During a randomized placebo-controlled trial of chemoprophylaxis against Plasmodium falciparum malaria and iron supplementation, in infants living under conditions of intense transmission, all samples
Treatment of acute uncomplicated <em>Falciparum</em> malaria with artemether-lumefantrine in nonimmune populations: a safety, efficacy, and... (Publications)
treatment of malaria in nonimmune populations are not well defined. In this study, 165 nonimmune patients from Europe and non-malarious areas of Colombia with acute, uncomplicated falciparum malaria or mixed [...] Treatment was well tolerated; most adverse events were mild to moderate and seemed to be related to malaria. There were few serious adverse events, none of which were considered to be drug-related. No significant [...] umefantrine was effective and well tolerated in the treatment of...
Non-stationary partition modeling of geostatistical data for malaria risk mapping (Publications)
influence geographical dependence in malaria transmission differently at different locations, introducing non-stationarity. Ignoring this characteristic in malaria spatial modeling may lead to inaccurate [...] Monte Carlo simulation. This methodology was applied to analyze malaria survey data from Mali and to produce a country-level smooth map of malaria risk [...] The most common assumption in geostatistical modeling of malaria is stationarity, that is spatial correlation is a function of the...
