The stochastic permanence of malaria, and the existence of a stationary distribution for a class of malaria models [PDF]
, 2018 This paper investigates the stochastic permanence of malaria and the existence of a stationary distribution for the stochastic process describing the disease dynamics over sufficiently longtime. The malaria system is highly random with fluctuations from the disease transmission and natural deathrates, which are expressed as independent white noise ...

The stochastic extinction and stability conditions for a class of malaria epidemic models [PDF]
Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2019, 16(5): 3771-3806, 2019 The stochastic extinction and stability in the mean of a family of SEIRS malaria models with a general nonlinear incidence rate is presented. The dynamics is driven by independent white noise processes from the disease transmission and natural death rates. The basic reproduction number $R^{*}_{0}$, the expected survival probability of the plasmodium $E(

BMC Public Health, 2016 Background Antibiotic resistance is an issue of growing global concern. One key strategy to minimise further development of resistance is the rational use of antibiotics, by providers and patients alike. Through integrated community case management (iCCM)

The effect of dams and seasons on malaria incidence and anopheles abundance in Ethiopia [PDF]
, 2013 Background: Reservoirs created by damming rivers are often believed to increase malaria incidence risk and/or stretch the period of malaria transmission. In this paper, we report the effects of a mega hydropower dam on P.

Do Malaria Vector control Measures Impact Disease-Related Behaviour and Knowledge? Evidence from a Large-scale Larviciding Intervention in Tanzania. [PDF]
, 2013 Recent efforts of accelerated malaria control towards the long-term goal of elimination had significant impacts in reducing malaria transmission. While these efforts need to be sustained over time, a scenario of low transmission could bring about changes

Deep unsupervised learning for Microscopy-Based Malaria detection [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Malaria, a mosquito-borne disease caused by a parasite, kills over 1 million people globally each year. People, if left untreated, may develop severe complications, leading to death. Effective and accurate diagnosis is important for the management and control of malaria.

Viewpoint: Evaluating the impact of malaria control efforts on mortality in sub-Saharan Africa
, 2007 OBJECTIVE To describe an approach for evaluating the impact of malaria control efforts on malaria-associated mortality in sub-Saharan Africa, where disease-specific mortality trends usually cannot be measured directly and most malaria deaths occur among ...

The Changing Epidemiology of Malaria in Ifakara Town, Southern Tanzania. [PDF]
, 2004 Between 1995 and 2000 there were marked changes in the epidemiology of malaria in Ifakara, southern Tanzania. We documented these changes using parasitological and clinical data from a series of community- and hospital-based studies involving children up
