Intermittent preventive treatment of malaria provides substantial protection against malaria in children already protected by an insecticide-treated bednet in Burkina Faso: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. [PDF]

, 2011
BACKGROUND: Intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in children (IPTc) is a promising new approach to the control of malaria in areas of seasonal malaria transmission but it is not known if IPTc adds to the protection provided by an insecticide ...

From silence to academic engagement: How refugee children with disabilities access learning through inclusive ‘artful’ schools in Canada

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Many newcomer children spend a ‘silent year’ in elementary school classrooms while they adjust to a new culture and language. This often delays inclusion in learning and forming friendships with peers. For refugee children with disabilities (RCDs) this phase may last for 3 years or more, impacting their mental health and sense of belonging ...

A new fractional SIRS-SI malaria disease model with application of vaccines, antimalarial drugs, and spraying

Advances in Differential Equations, 2019
The present paper deals with a new fractional SIRS-SI model describing the transmission of malaria disease. The SIRS-SI malaria model is modified by using the Caputo–Fabrizio fractional operator for the inclusion of memory.

Agent-Based Modelling of Malaria Transmission Dynamics [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Recent statistics of malaria shows that over 200 million cases and estimated deaths of nearly half a million occur globally. Africa alone accounts for almost 90% of the cases. Several studies have been conducted to understand the disease transmission dynamics.
