Journal ArticleDOI
Pfhrp2-Deleted Plasmodium falciparum Parasites in the Democratic Republic of the Congo: A National Cross-sectional Survey
Jonathan B. Parr,Robert Verity,Stephanie M. Doctor,Mark Janko,Kelly Carey-Ewend,Breanna J. Turman,Corinna Keeler,Hannah C Slater,Amy N. Whitesell,Kashamuka Mwandagalirwa,Kashamuka Mwandagalirwa,Azra C. Ghani,Joris L. Likwela,Antoinette Tshefu,Michael Emch,Jonathan J. Juliano,Steven R. Meshnick +16 more
TL;DR: Pfhrp2-deleted P. falciparum is a common cause of RDT-/PCR+ malaria among asymptomatic children in the DRC and appears to be clustered within select communities, and alternatives to HRP2-specific RDTs may be necessary.
Journal ArticleDOI
The links between agriculture, Anopheles mosquitoes, and malaria risk in children younger than 5 years in the Democratic Republic of the Congo: a population-based, cross-sectional, spatial study
Mark Janko,Seth R. Irish,Seth R. Irish,Brian J. Reich,Marc Peterson,Stephanie M. Doctor,Melchior Kashamuka Mwandagalirwa,Joris L. Likwela,Antoinette Tshefu,Steven R. Meshnick,Michael Emch +10 more
TL;DR: A population-based, cross-sectional, spatial study of rural children in the DR Congo aimed at assessing the effect of agriculture on Anopheles biting behaviour and malaria risk in children in rural areas of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of individual and community-level bed net usage on malaria prevalence among under-fives in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Lauren Levitz,Mark Janko,Kashamuka Mwandagalirwa,Kyaw L. Thwai,Joris L. Likwela,Antoinette Tshefu,Michael Emch,Steven R. Meshnick +7 more
TL;DR: Individual and community LLIN usage were significantly associated with protection against malaria in children under 5 in the DRC, and LLINs treated with deltamethrin were shown to be more protective against malaria than LLINS treated with permethrin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Low prevalence of Plasmodium malariae and Plasmodium ovale mono-infections among children in the Democratic Republic of the Congo: a population-based, cross-sectional study
Stephanie M. Doctor,Yunhao Liu,Olivia G. Anderson,Amy N. Whitesell,Melchior Kashamuka Mwandagalirwa,Melchior Kashamuka Mwandagalirwa,Jérémie Muwonga,Corinna Keeler,Michael Emch,Joris L. Likwela,Antoinette Tshefu,Steven R. Meshnick +11 more
TL;DR: Plasmodium malariae and P. ovale remain endemic at a low rate in the DRC, but the risk of missing malarial infections of these species due to falciparum-specific RDT use is low.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nationwide insecticide resistance status and biting behaviour of malaria vector species in the Democratic Republic of Congo
Francis Wat’senga,Emile Z Manzambi,Andre Lunkula,Roger Mulumbu,Tania Mampangulu,Neil F. Lobo,Allison L. Hendershot,Christen M. Fornadel,Djenam Jacob,Mame Niang,Ferdinand Ntoya,Tamfum Muyembe,Joris L. Likwela,Seth R. Irish,Richard M. Oxborough +14 more
TL;DR: The finding of widespread resistance to permethrin in DRC is concerning and alternative insecticides should be evaluated, indicating that resistance was partly due to metabolic mechanisms.
