Environmental determinants of malaria transmission in African villages [PDF]

, 2016
Background Malaria transmission is complex, involving a range of hydroclimatological, biological, and environmental processes. The high degree of non-linearity in these processes makes it difficult to predict and intervene against malaria.

Discovery of an Adaptive Neuroimmune Response Driving Itch and Fast Tick Removal with Implications for Preventing Pathogen Transmission

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Doehl et al. discovered an adaptive neuroimmune mechanism that induces itch in tick‐exposed guinea pigs, enabling rapid tick removal. This itch‐induced tick removal (IITR) is mediated by an adaptive cellular immune response and is independent of IgG, IgE, or TRPV1.

Kenya must wake up to the threat of cryptic Anopheles species and their impact on residual malaria transmission

Journal of Vector Borne Diseases
Malaria remains a major health problem in Kenya despite the huge efforts put in place to control it. The non-relenting malaria threat has partly been attributed to residual malaria transmission driven by vectors that cannot effectively be controlled by ...

Guianensin, a Simulium guianense salivary protein, has broad anti-hemostatic and anti-inflammatory properties

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
BackgroundSalivary glands from blood-feeding arthropods secrete several molecules that inhibit mammalian hemostasis and facilitate blood feeding and pathogen transmission.

Transgenic mosquitoes and malaria transmission [PDF]

Cellular Microbiology, 2005
As the malaria burden persists in most parts of the developing world, the concept of implementation of new strategies such as the use of genetically modified mosquitoes to control the disease continues to gain support. In Africa, which suffers most from malaria, mosquito vector populations are spread almost throughout the entire continent, and the ...

Multisectoral Convergence of Food, Nutrition and Sanitation Programs for Child Health: Evidence From Country‐Level Programs in India

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper underscores the critical role of multisectoral convergence in enhancing child health, particularly in addressing anemia, a micronutrient deficiency linked to both diet and sanitation. We explore how the integration of nationwide food and nutrition programs with sanitation initiatives impacts anemia in Indian children under three ...

Malaria Elimination in Costa Rica: Changes in Treatment and Mass Drug Administration

Microorganisms, 2020
Costa Rica is a candidate to eliminate malaria by 2020. The remaining malaria transmission hotspots are located within the Huétar Norte Region (HNR), where 90% of the country’s 147 malaria cases have occurred since 2016, following a 33-month period ...

A mathematical model of malaria transmission in a periodic environment

Journal of Biological Dynamics, 2018
In this paper, we present a mathematical model of malaria transmission dynamics with age structure for the vector population and a periodic biting rate of female anopheles mosquitoes.
