Using observed incidence to calibrate the transmission level of a mathematical model for <em>Plasmodium vivax</em> dynamics including case management... (Publications)
In this work, we present a simple and flexible model for Plasmodium vivax dynamics which can be easily combined with routinely collected data on local and imported case counts to quantify transmission
Risk factors and spatial distribution of <em>Schistosoma mansoni </em>infection among preschool-aged children in Blapleu, Biankouma district, Western... (Publications)
Schistosoma mansoni infection is common among school-age children (SAC) in western Cote d'Ivoire. Little is known on the infection rate of preschool-aged children (PSAC) due to epidemiological data de
The 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1 is an essential upstream activator of protein kinase A in malaria parasites (Publications)
Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) signalling is essential for the proliferation of Plasmodium falciparum malaria blood stage parasites. The mechanisms regulating t
Vaccine hesitancy and its determinants – a way forward? (Publications)
The availability of highly effective SARS-CoV-2 vaccines brought about renewed hope worldwide to overcome the pandemic, becoming an integral part of public health measures. However, vaccine hesitance,
Seasonal variations in air concentrations of 27 organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and 25 current-use pesticides (CUPs) across three agricultural areas... (Publications)
For decades pesticides have been used in agriculture, however, the occurrence of legacy organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and current-use pesticides (CUPs) is poorly understood in Africa. This study in
Discovery and structure-activity relationships of quinazolinone-2-carboxamide derivatives as novel orally efficacious antimalarials (Publications)
A phenotypic high-throughput screen allowed discovery of quinazolinone-2-carboxamide derivatives as a novel antimalarial scaffold. Structure-activity relationship studies led to identification of a po
The effect of exposure to radiofrequency fields on cancer risk in the general and working population: a protocol for a systematic review of human... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The World Health Organization (WHO) has an ongoing project to assess potential health effects of exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) in the general and working popul
Access to water and sanitation infrastructures for primary schoolchildren in the south-central part of Côte d’Ivoire (Publications)
In rural settings of Côte d’Ivoire, access to water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) at schools is often lacking. The purpose of this study was to assess the availability, quality, and use of WASH infr
Identification of the asymptomatic <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> and <em>Plasmodium vivax</em> gametocyte reservoir under different transmission... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Understanding epidemiological variables affecting gametocyte carriage and density is essential to design interventions that most effectively reduce malaria human-to-mosquito transmission.
Implementation of a non-communicable disease clinic in rural Sierra Leone: early experiences and lessons learned (Publications)
This study is an evaluation of the first cohort of patients enrolled in an outpatient non-communicable disease clinic in Kono, Sierra Leone. In the first year, the clinic enrolled 916 patients. Eight
