Pedro L. Alonso,Thomas J. Smith,J. R. M. Armstrong Schellenberg,Honorati Masanja,S. Mwankusye,H. Urassa,I. Bastos de Azevedo,Chongela J,Kobero S,Clara Menendez,N. Hurt,Merlin C. Thomas,Eric Lyimo,N.A. Weiss,Richard J. Hayes,Andrew Y Kitua,M C Lopez,W. L. Kilama,T. Teuscher,Marcel Tanner +19 more
TL;DR: It is confirmed that SPf66 is safe, immunogenic and reduces the risk of clinical malaria among children exposed to intense P falciparum transmission.
Journal ArticleDOI
A malaria control trial using insecticide-treated bed nets and targeted chemoprophylaxis in a rural area of The Gambia, West Africa
Pedro L. Alonso,Steve W. Lindsay,J. R. M. Armstrong Schellenberg,J. R. M. Armstrong Schellenberg,P. Gomez,Allan G. Hill,P.H. David,Greg Fegan,K. Cham,Brian Greenwood +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used post-mortem questionnaires to identify the most common causes of death in children under the age of one year but responsible for about 40% of deaths in children aged 1-4 years.
Journal ArticleDOI
What is clinical malaria? Finding case definitions for field research in highly endemic areas
J. R. M. Armstrong Schellenberg,J. R. M. Armstrong Schellenberg,Thomas J. Smith,Pedro L. Alonso,Richard J. Hayes +4 more
TL;DR: It is shown how the proportion of fevers due to malaria (the attributable fraction) can be estimated and used to evaluate case definitions for use in field trials.
Journal ArticleDOI
An estimation of the entomological inoculation rate for Ifakara: a semi-urban area in a region of intense malaria transmission in Tanzania
Chris Drakeley,David Schellenberg,Japhet Kihonda,Carla A. Sousa,Ana Paula Arez,Dinora Lopes,Jo Lines,Hassan Mshinda,Christian Lengeler,J. R. M. Armstrong Schellenberg,Marcel Tanner,P. L. Alonso +11 more
TL;DR: Entomological inoculation rate estimates are generated using a standard method and an alternative method that allows the calculation of confidence intervals based on a negative binomial distribution of sporozoite positive mosquitoes, which show large variations over short distances in time and space.
Journal ArticleDOI
The silent burden of anaemia in Tanzanian children: a community-based study
David Schellenberg,J. R. M. Armstrong Schellenberg,Adiel K Mushi,Don de Savigny,Leslie Mgalula,Conrad Mbuya,Cesar G. Victora +6 more
TL;DR: The asymptomatic nature of most episodes of anaemia highlights the need for preventive strategies and the EPI has good coverage of the target population and it may be an appropriate channel for delivering tools for controlling anaemia and malaria.
