Identification and characterization of microRNAs expressed in the African malaria vector Anopheles funestus life stages using high throughput sequencing
(BioMed Central, 2016)Background: Over the past several years, thousands of microRNAs (miRNAs) have been identified in the genomes of various insects through cloning and sequencing or even by computational prediction. However, the number of ... -
Modeling the dynamics of an epidemic under vaccination in two interacting populations
(Hindawi, 2012)Mathematical modeling of the numerical evolution of infectious diseases has become an important tool for disease control and eradication when possible. Much work has been done on the problem of how a given population is ... -
Multistage antiplasmodial activity of hydroxyethylamine compounds,in vitroandin vivoevaluations
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020)Malaria, a global threat to the human population, remains a challenge partly due to the fast-growing drug-resistant strains of Plasmodium species. New therapeutics acting against the pathogenic asexual and sexual stages, ... -
Patterns of authorship on community health workers in low-and-middle income countries: An analysis of publications (2012–2016)
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2018)Studies of authorship provide a barometer of local research capacity and ownership of research, considered key to defining appropriate research priorities, developing contextualised responses to health problems and ... -
Prioritization of anti-malarial hits from nature: Chemo-informatic profiling of natural products with in vitro antiplasmodial activities and currently registered anti-malarial drugs
(BMC, 2016)A large number of natural products have shown in vitro antiplasmodial activities. Early identification and prioritization of these natural products with potential for novel mechanism of action, desirable pharmacokinetics ... -
Stochastic modeling of a mosquito-borne disease
(Springer Nature, 2020)We present and analyze a stochastic differential equation (SDE) model for the population dynamics of a mosquito-borne infectious disease. We prove the solutions to be almost surely positive and global. We introduce a ... -
Strategies for malaria vaccination during the Covid-19 pandemic in African countries
(World Health Organization, 2022)Since October 2021, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends the use of RTS,S/AS01 (RTS,S) malaria vaccine for children in areas of moderate to high transmission of Plasmodium falciparum in Africa.1 The vaccine ...
