unstable transmission in the highlands of western Kenya./p pMethods/p pIndividual-based stochastic simulation models of malaria in humans and a deterministic model of malaria in mosquitoes as part of the OpenMalaria platform were parameterized to create a scenario for the study area based on data...
High-resolution micro-epidemiology of parasite spatial and temporal dynamics in a high malaria transmission setting in KenyaParasite genomicsEpidemiologyDeveloping worldNovel interventions that leverage the heterogeneity of parasite transmission are needed to achieve malaria elimination. To better understand ...
The treatment of Shigella infections has become a major challenge due to the emergence of multidrug-resistant Shigella. There is however insufficient knowledge regarding the molecular epidemiology of Shigella strains producing beta-lactamases in Africa.
To estimate the prevalence of stool carriage of NTS in Kenya, we conducted a cross-sectional study in Kilifi, Nairobi, and Siaya, sites with a low, moderate and high incidence of invasive NTS disease, respectively. At each site, we randomly selected 100 participants in each age-group of 0...
Following the scale-up of intervention efforts, malaria burden has decreased dramatically in Solomon Islands (SI). Submicroscopic and asymptomatic Plasmodium vivax infections are now the major challenge for malaria elimination in this country. Since chil
Malaria continues to be one of the most prevalent human infectious diseases. It is caused by protozoan para-sites of the Plasmodium genus that are transmitted from person to person by the bite of an infected female Anopheles mosquito. Studies of malaria epidemiology have traditionally used the micr...
In places where the presence of fever used to be equated with malaria, malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) have identified the often large proportion of febrile patients who do not have malaria. Diagnosis of individual patients with febrile illness is challenging, due to the non-specific ...
