Epidemiological links between malaria parasitaemia and hypertension: findings from a population-based survey in rural Côte d'Ivoire (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Although potential links between malaria parasitaemia and hypertension have been hypothesized, there is paucity of epidemiologic evidence on this link. We investigated in a population-base

Immuno-gold silver staining assays on capillary-driven microfluidics for the detection of malaria antigens (Publications)
Accurate and affordable rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are indispensable but often lacking for many infectious diseases. Specifically, there is a lack of highly sensitive malaria RDTs that can detect l
Exposure to nonmicrobial N-glycolylneuraminic acid protects farmers' children against airway inflammation and colitis (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Childhood exposure to a farm environment has been shown to protect against the development of inflammatory diseases, such as allergy, asthma, and inflammatory bowel disease. OBJECTIVE: We
Insight into potassium's role in childhood mortality due to severe acute malnutrition (Publications)
Hypokalaemia is associated with an increase in mortality in children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) and diarrhoea. This is a descriptive cross-sectional retrospective study conducted in the Nutr
Therapeutic efficacy of albendazole against soil-transmitted helminthiasis in children measured by five diagnostic methods (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Preventive chemotherapy (PC) with benzimidazole drugs is the backbone of soil-transmitted helminth (STH) control programs. Over the past decade, drug coverage has increased and with it, th
Modelling reactive case detection strategies for interrupting transmission of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> malaria (Publications)
BACKGROUND: As areas move closer to malaria elimination, a combination of limited resources and increasing heterogeneity in case distribution and transmission favour a shift to targeted reactive inter
