Effectiveness of school-based preventive chemotherapy strategies for sustaining the control of schistosomiasis in Côte d’Ivoire: results of a 5-year... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Preventive chemotherapy using praziquantel is the mainstay for schistosomiasis control. However, there is little evidence on what is supposed to be the most effective school-based treatmen
Longitudinal monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 RNA on high-touch surfaces in a community setting (Publications)
Environmental surveillance of surface contamination is an unexplored tool for understanding transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in community settings. We conducted longitudinal swab sampling of high-touch non-
Monitoring <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> and <em>Plasmodium vivax</em> using microsatellite markers indicates limited changes in population structure... (Publications)
Monitoring the genetic structure of pathogen populations may be an economical and sensitive approach to quantify the impact of control on transmission dynamics, highlighting the need for a better unde
Predicted impact of COVID-19 on neglected tropical disease programs and the opportunity for innovation (Publications)
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many key neglected tropical disease (NTD) activities have been postponed. This hindrance comes at a time when the NTDs are progressing towards their ambitious goals for 2
<em>In utero</em> exposure to threat of evictions and preterm birth: evidence from the United States (Publications)
OBJECTIVE: To estimate county-level associations between in utero exposure to threatened evictions and preterm birth in the United States. DATA SOURCES: Complete birth records were obtained from the N
Moving beyond simple descriptive statistics in the analysis of online wildlife trade: an example from clustering and ordination (Publications)
Collecting data for reports on online wildlife trade is resource-intensive and time-consuming. Learning often focuses on the main item traded by each country only. However, online trade is increasing,
Radio-frequency electromagnetic field exposure and contribution of sources in the general population: an organ-specific integrative exposure... (Publications)
In order to achieve an integrated radio-frequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) dose assessment, detailed information about source-specific exposure duration and output power is needed. We developed
Real-time dispersal of malaria vectors in rural Africa monitored with lidar (Publications)
Lack of tools for detailed, real-time observation of mosquito behavior with high spatio-temporal resolution limits progress towards improved malaria vector control. We deployed a high-resolution entom
Novel antimalarial tetrazoles and amides active against the hemoglobin degradation pathway in <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> (Publications)
Malaria control programs continue to be threatened by drug resistance. To identify new antimalarials, we conducted a phenotypic screen and identified a novel tetrazole-based series that shows fast-kil
