Journal ArticleDOI
Neglected Disease Research and Development: How Much Are We Really Spending?
M. Moran,Javier Guzman,A. L. Ropars,Alina McDonald,Nicole Jameson,B. Omune,Sam Ryan,Lindsey Wu +7 more
TL;DR: Mary Moran and colleagues survey global investment into research and development of new pharmaceutical products to prevent, manage, or cure diseases of the developing world.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of diagnostics for the detection of asymptomatic Plasmodium falciparum infections to inform control and elimination strategies
Lindsey Wu,Lotus L. van den Hoogen,Hannah C Slater,Patrick G T Walker,Azra C. Ghani,Chris Drakeley,Lucy C Okell +6 more
TL;DR: The relationship across common diagnostics used to measure malaria prevalence — polymerase chain reaction (PCR), rapid diagnostic test and microscopy — for the detection of Plasmodium falciparum infections in endemic populations is determined based on a pooled analysis of cross-sectional data.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluating the impact of pulse oximetry on childhood pneumonia mortality in resource-poor settings
Jessica R. Floyd,Lindsey Wu,Lindsey Wu,Deborah C. Hay Burgess,Rasa Izadnegahdar,David Mukanga,Azra C. Ghani +6 more
TL;DR: A deterministic compartmental model that links the care pathway to disease progression to assess the impact of introducing pulse oximetry as a prognostic tool to distinguish severe from non-severe pneumonia in under-5 year olds across 15 countries with the highest burden found it to be a promising candidate for improving the prognosis for children with pneumonia in resource-poor settings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effectiveness of reactive focal mass drug administration and reactive focal vector control to reduce malaria transmission in the low malaria-endemic setting of Namibia: a cluster-randomised controlled, open-label, two-by-two factorial design trial.
Michelle S. Hsiang,Michelle S. Hsiang,Henry Ntuku,Kathryn W. Roberts,Mi-Suk Kang Dufour,Brooke Whittemore,Munyaradzi Tambo,Patrick McCreesh,Patrick McCreesh,Oliver F. Medzihradsky,Lisa M.

TL;DR: In a low malaria-endemic setting, rfMDA and RAVC, implemented alone and in combination, reduced malaria transmission and should be considered as alternatives to RACD for elimination of malaria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimisation and standardisation of a multiplex immunoassay of diverse Plasmodium falciparum antigens to assess changes in malaria transmission using sero-epidemiology.
Lindsey Wu,Thomas A. Hall,Isaac Ssewanyana,Tate Oulton,Catriona Patterson,Hristina Vasileva,Susheel K. Singh,Susheel K. Singh,Muna Affara,Julia Mwesigwa,Simon Correa,Mamadou Bah,Umberto D'Alessandro,Nuno Sepúlveda,Chris Drakeley,Kevin K. A. Tetteh +15 more
TL;DR: This study demonstrates that developing a standardised malaria-specific qSAT protocol for a diverse set of antigens is achievable, though further optimisations may be required.
