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.

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 ...

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.

Incidence and outcomes of childhood status epilepticus in Kano, northern Nigeria

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Convulsive status epilepticus (CSE) is a major neurological emergency in childhood, but population‐based data from low‐ and middle‐income countries remain limited. We estimated the incidence, mortality, neurological outcomes, and predictors of adverse outcomes among children with CSE in Kano, northern Nigeria.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Residual malaria transmission dynamics varies across The Gambia despite high coverage of control interventions

PLoS ONE, 2017
Over the last decades, malaria has declined substantially in The Gambia but its transmission has not been interrupted. In order to better target control interventions, it is essential to understand the dynamics of residual transmission.
