TL;DR: PPF-treated LLins provide greater protection against clinical malaria than do standard LLINs and could be used as an alternative to standard LLIns in areas with intense transmission of Plasmodium falciparum malaria and highly pyrethroid-resistant vectors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cohort profile: The Kilombero and Ulanga Antiretroviral Cohort (KIULARCO) - A prospective HIV cohort in rural Tanzania.
Emilio Letang,Aneth Vedastus Kalinjuma,Tracy R. Glass,Anna Gamell,Herry Mapesi,George Sikalengo,Lameck B. Luwanda,Dorcas Mnzava,Alex J. Ntamatungiro,Regina Ndaki,Gideon Francis,Fiona Vanobberghen,Hansjakob Furrer,Thomas Klimkait,Ingrid Felger,Marcel Tanner,Christoph Hatz,Maja Weisser,Manuel Battegay +18 more
TL;DR: KIULARCO provides a framework for improving the quality of care of people living with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa, to generate relevant information to evaluate ART programmes and to build local capacity to deal with HIV/AIDS.
Journal ArticleDOI
The viral load monitoring cascade in a resource-limited setting: A prospective multicentre cohort study after introduction of routine viral load monitoring in rural Lesotho
Tracy R. Glass,Lipontso Motaboli,Bienvenu Lengo Nsakala,Malebanye Lerotholi,Fiona Vanobberghen,Fiona Vanobberghen,Alain Amstutz,Alain Amstutz,Alain Amstutz,Thabo Ishmael Lejone,Josephine Muhairwe,Thomas Klimkait,Niklaus Daniel Labhardt,Niklaus Daniel Labhardt,Niklaus Daniel Labhardt +14 more
TL;DR: The data show that in a real-life setting availability of routine VL monitoring may not be exploited to its potential, and future studies will have to assess models of care which ensure that VL results are met with an action and make use of scalable innovative approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI
