Imaging malaria parasites across scales and time

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract The idea that disease is caused at the cellular level is so fundamental to us that we might forget the critical role microscopy played in generating and developing this insight. Visually identifying diseased or infected cells lays the foundation for any effort to curb human pathology.

Artificial intelligence‐powered microscopy: Transforming the landscape of parasitology

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Microscopy and image analysis play a vital role in parasitology research; they are critical for identifying parasitic organisms and elucidating their complex life cycles. Despite major advancements in imaging and analysis, several challenges remain. These include the integration of interdisciplinary data; information derived from various model

Optimisation of freeze substitution protocols for the examination of malaria parasite structure by volumetric electron microscopy

Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Malaria is one of the deadliest infectious diseases in the world, annually responsible for over 400,000 deaths. It is caused by parasites of the genus Plasmodium, which undergo remarkable structural changes during their development within different cells across various hosts.

Effects of Video‐Based Health Education on Birth Outcomes and Anaemia Status of Mothers in Dirashe District South Ethiopia: A Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial

Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Undernutrition and infections during pregnancy result in low birth weight (LBW) and maternal anaemia. Social behaviour change communication (SBCC) can promote recommended health practices, potentially improving maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Comparative attraction of Anopheles quadriannulatus and Anopheles arabiensis to humans estimated by comparing their relative abundance in samples of mosquito larvae and adults collected across an ecologically heterogeneous landscape in southern Tanzania Utafiti wa kulinganisha mvuto wa mbu aina ya Anopheles arabiensis na Anopheles quadriannulatus kwa binadamu katika mandhari yenye mazingira mbalimbali kusini mwa Tanzania

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Light and barrier traps near human activity selectively captured more Anopheles arabiensis, indicating a strong attraction to humans and explicit bias in adult sampling methods. Traps placed in open glades away from humans captured species proportions similar to larval samples, suggesting reduced sampling bias in those settings. Visits by entomological
