  • Outdoor attractive targeted sugar bait Phase III trials for malaria control in Kenya, Mali, and Zambia

    Open AccessRuth A Ashton, Daniel P McDermott et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Attractive targeted sugar baits (ATSB) are a potential new class of vector control tool that act through an “attract and kill” mechanism on mosquitoes. We conducted a meta-analysis using data from three large-scale Phase III trials of the Westham Sarabi v1.2 ATSB (0.11% dinotefuran) conducted in Kenya, Mali, and Zambia, to determine the effect of the intervention on clinical malaria incidence in children, Plasmodium falciparum infection prevalenc…

  • Access to malaria diagnosis and treatment in Zambia in the context of scaling-up community case management

    Open AccessZhiyuan Mao, Adam Bennett et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2026

    Community case management has been scaled up nationally in Zambia over the last decade. However, there is limited evidence on how this nationwide implementation has affected febrile patients’ access to malaria diagnosis and treatment in Zambia. This study analyzed four rounds of Malaria Indicator Survey (MIS) data (2012–2021) to evaluate: 1) proportion of all-ages individuals with fever who sought treatment from a formal provider, 2) proportion o…

  • Using a mobile nanopore sequencing lab for end-to-end genomic surveillance of Plasmodium falciparum

    Open AccessAurel Holzschuh, Anita Lerch et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2024

    Genomic epidemiology holds promise for malaria control and elimination efforts, for example by informing on Plasmodium falciparum genetic diversity and prevalence of mutations conferring anti-malarial drug resistance. Limited sequencing infrastructure in many malaria-endemic areas prevents the rapid generation of genomic data. To address these issues, we developed and validated assays for P . falciparum nanopore sequencing in endemic sites using …

  • Survey of Adherence with Covid-19 Prevention Behaviors During the 2020 Thanksgiving and Winter Holidays Among Members of the Covid-19 Community Research Partnership

    Open AccessJames E Peacock, David M Herrington et al.ARTICLEJournal of Community Health2022

    Prevention behaviors represent important public health tools to limit spread of SARS-CoV-2. Adherence with recommended public health prevention behaviors among 20000 + members of a COVID-19 syndromic surveillance cohort from the mid-Atlantic and southeastern United States was assessed via electronic survey following the 2020 Thanksgiving and winter holiday (WH) seasons. Respondents were predominantly non-Hispanic Whites (90%), female (60%), and ≥…

  • Evaluation of long-lasting insecticidal net distribution through schools in Southern Tanzania

    Open AccessLogan Stuck, Frank Chacky et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2022

    Universal coverage with effective vector control remains the mainstay of malaria vector control in sub-Saharan Africa. Tanzania has utilized a number of mechanisms for the maintenance of long-lasting insecticidal net (LLIN) coverage over time. Schools have been identified as one potential channel for continuous distribution of LLIN. This research aims to evaluate an annual school-based LLIN distribution programme in Tanzania that began in 2013, c…

  • Can school-based distribution be used to maintain coverage of long-lasting insecticide treated bed nets

    Open AccessLogan Stuck, Angelina Lutambi et al.ARTICLEHealth Policy and Planning2017References: 29

    Many sub-Saharan African countries have achieved substantial gains in insecticide treated bednet coverage since 2005. The Tanzania National Malaria Control Programme identified school-based net distribution as one potential 'keep-up' strategy for the purpose of maintaining long-lasting insecticidal net (LLIN) coverage after a nationwide mass campaign in 2011. The School Net Programme (SNP) was implemented in three regions of southern Tanzania and…

  • The effect of malaria control on Plasmodium falciparum in Africa between 2000 and 2015

    Open AccessSamir Bhatt, D J Weiss et al.ARTICLENature2015

    Since the year 2000, a concerted campaign against malaria has led to unprecedented levels of intervention coverage across sub-Saharan Africa. Understanding the effect of this control effort is vital to inform future control planning. However, the effect of malaria interventions across the varied epidemiological settings of Africa remains poorly understood owing to the absence of reliable surveillance data and the simplistic approaches underlying …

  • Contagion in Mass Killings and School Shootings

    Open AccessSherry Towers, Andres Gomez-Lievano et al.EDITORARTICLEPLoS ONE2015

    BACKGROUND: Several past studies have found that media reports of suicides and homicides appear to subsequently increase the incidence of similar events in the community, apparently due to the coverage planting the seeds of ideation in at-risk individuals to commit similar acts. METHODS: Here we explore whether or not contagion is evident in more high-profile incidents, such as school shootings and mass killings (incidents with four or more peopl…
