Estimating the most efficient allocation of interventions to achieve reductions in Plasmodium falciparum malaria burden and transmission in Africa: a modelling study.
(2016-07)BACKGROUND: Reducing the burden of malaria is a global priority, but financial constraints mean that available resources must be allocated rationally to maximise their effect. We aimed to develop a model to estimate the ... -
The impact of pyrethroid resistance on the efficacy and effectiveness of bednets for malaria control in Africa.
(2016-08-22)Long lasting pyrethroid treated bednets are the most important tool for preventing malaria. Pyrethroid resistant Anopheline mosquitoes are now ubiquitous in Africa, though the public health impact remains unclear, impeding ... -
The interaction between seasonality and pulsed interventions against malaria in their effects on the reproduction number.
(2015-01)The basic reproduction number (R0) is an important quantity summarising the dynamics of an infectious disease, as it quantifies how much effort is needed to control transmission. The relative change in R0 due to an ... -
Systematic review of indoor residual spray efficacy and effectiveness against Plasmodium falciparum in Africa.
(2018-11-26)Indoor residual spraying (IRS) is an important part of malaria control. There is a growing list of insecticide classes; pyrethroids remain the principal insecticide used in bednets but recently, novel non-pyrethroid IRS ...
