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.

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 ...

Intermittent preventive treatment with dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine in Ugandan schoolchildren selects for Plasmodium falciparum transporter polymorphisms that modify drug sensitivity. [PDF]
, 2016 Dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine (DP) offers prolonged protection against malaria, but its impact on Plasmodium falciparum drug sensitivity is uncertain. In a trial of intermittent preventive treatment in schoolchildren in Tororo, Uganda, in 2011 to 2012 ...

School-aged children based seasonal malaria chemoprevention using artesunate-amodiaquine in Mali
Parasite Epidemiology and Control, 2018 Introduction: Malaria is still a public health problem in Africa. Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention (SMC) is an efficient control strategy recommended by WHO that targets children under five year old living in areas of seasonal malaria transmission.
