Community perceptions on outdoor malaria transmission in Kilombero Valley, Southern Tanzania

Malaria Journal, 2017
Background The extensive use of indoor residual spraying (IRS) and insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) in Africa has contributed to a significant reduction in malaria transmission.

Travel risk, malaria importation and malaria transmission in Zanzibar [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2011
The prevalence of Plasmodium falciparum malaria in Zanzibar has reached historic lows. Improving control requires quantifying malaria importation rates, identifying high-risk travelers, and assessing onwards transmission.Estimates of Zanzibar's importation rate were calculated through two independent methodologies.

Pharmacometric evaluation of pre‐referral rectal artesunate in children with severe malaria

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Parenteral artesunate is the preferred first‐line treatment for severe malaria. Pre‐referral rectal artesunate suppositories are recommended where parenteral treatment is inaccessible. In this study, we compared dihydroartemisinin exposure and model‐predicted early parasite clearance following rectal artesunate and intravenous artesunate in ...

Host preferences, bloodmeal sources, and gonotrophic cycles of Anopheles gambiae complex mosquitoes in rural South West Nigeria

Journal of Vector Borne Diseases
Background & objectives: Malaria remains a major public health challenge in sub-Saharan Africa, with Anopheles gambiae complex, comprising An. gambiae s.s., An. coluzzii, and An. arabiensis, as the principal vectors. These sibling species exhibit diverse

Assessing the spatiotemporal malaria transmission intensity with heterogeneous risk factors: A modeling study in Cambodia

Infectious Disease Modelling, 2023
Malaria control can significantly benefit from a holistic and precise way of quantitatively measuring the transmission intensity, which needs to incorporate spatiotemporally varying risk factors.

Characterization of Immune Responses to RBD‐SD1 Nanoparticle Vaccines Derived From ACE2‐Capable HKU5‐CoV‐2, NeoCoV, and HKU5 Merbecoviruses

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
SpyCatcher‐mi3 nanoparticles presenting HKU5, NeoCoV, and HKU5‐CoV‐2 RBD‐SD1 induced strong, cross‐reactive IgG responses in immunized mice. The surrogate virus neutralization test demonstrated strong activity in sera from homologous vaccination. ABSTRACT Recent discoveries of merbecoviruses such as HKU5, NeoCoV, and HKU5‐CoV‐2 that use angiotensin ...

Helminth-infected patients with malaria: a low profile transmission hub?

Malaria Journal, 2012
Eclipsed by the debates about malaria incidence and severity in individual patients, malaria transmission in helminth-infected persons has so far received very little attention. Studies in humans have shown increased malaria incidence and prevalence, and

How malaria models relate temperature to malaria transmission [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2013
It is well known that temperature has a major influence on the transmission of malaria parasites to their hosts. However, mathematical models do not always agree about the way in which temperature affects malaria transmission.In this study, we compared six temperature dependent mortality models for the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto ...

A narrow bandgap Schottky heterojunction Fe2N/CeO2 microneedle triggering sonodynamic reactive oxygen species storm for drug‐resistance‐free skin fungal infection

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Inorganic sonosensitizers suffer from inefficient electron‐hole separation, rapid recombination, and wide bandgaps in anti‐fungal applications. We propose MN@Fe2N/CeO2 to directly eliminate fungi without drug resistance. Combining semiconductor CeO2's advantages with Fe2N's high work function and activity enables efficient Schottky heterojunctions ...
