Human candidate gene polymorphisms and risk of severe malaria in children in Kilifi, Kenya: a case-control association study [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Human genetic factors are important determinants of malaria risk. We investigated associations between multiple candidate polymorphisms—many related to the structure or function of red blood cells—and risk for severe Plasmodium falciparum ...

Optimal population-level infection detection strategies for malaria control and elimination in a spatial model of malaria transmission [PDF]

, 2015
Mass campaigns with antimalarial drugs are potentially a powerful tool for local elimination of malaria, yet current diagnostic technologies are insufficiently sensitive to identify all individuals who harbor infections. At the same time, overtreatment of uninfected individuals increases the risk of accelerating emergence of drug resistance and losing ...

Malaria-filaria coinfection in mice makes malarial disease more severe unless filarial infection achieves patency [PDF]

, 2005
Coinfections are common in natural populations, and the literature suggests that helminth coinfection readily affects how the immune system manages malaria.

Delivering insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) through a digitized single-phase door-to-door strategy: lessons from Ondo state, Nigeria

Malaria Journal
Background The use of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) is a strategy recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) for malaria prevention. In Nigeria, ITNs have been periodically distributed since 2007 through campaigns.
