TL;DR: The baited box offers a simple method for detailed characterization of mosquito behavioural responses to insecticidal nets, for comparing entomological modes of action between nets and for defining the behavioural responses of particular mosquito strains or populations.

TL;DR: The control-arm combination, which included MC, was the most cost-effective way to increase UC at household level in Kenya and is relevant to other countries and donors seeking to optimise LLIN distribution.

TL;DR: The incidence was higher among adults during epidemic years, with significant increases in 2005, 2007, and 2013 DENV1 outbreaks, the 2010 DENV2 and 2003 DENV3 outbreaks, and adults had a lower incidence immediately after epidemics, which is likely linked to increased immunity.

TL;DR: A one–stop approach using the THALCON dichlorophenolindophenol (DCIP) and one-tube osmotic fragility (OF) tests and measurement of Zinc Protoporphyrin (ZPP) to detect and distinguish HbE and β-thalassaemia traits from iron deficiency in resource-limited settings ensures that iron supplements are targeted only to those who require them.

TL;DR: An SPN3human challenge model is feasible and safe with comparable carriage rates to an established SPN6B human challenge model and the safety of an SPn3 challenge model are established.
