A systematic review of mathematical models of mosquito-borne pathogen transmission: 1970–2010

Robert C. Reiner, +54 more
TL;DR: In this article, a bibliography of 325 publications from 1970 through 2010 that included at least one mathematical model of mosquito-borne pathogen transmission and then used a 79-part questionnaire to classify each of the associated models according to its biological assumptions.
Journal ArticleDOI

A large proportion of asymptomatic Plasmodium infections with low and sub-microscopic parasite densities in the low transmission setting of Temotu Province, Solomon Islands: challenges for malaria diagnostics in an elimination setting

TL;DR: A baseline malaria survey conducted in Temotu Province, Solomon Islands in late 2008, as the first step in a provincial malaria elimination programme, provided malaria epidemiology data and an opportunity to assess how well different diagnostic methods performed in this setting as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic Diversity of Plasmodium falciparum Histidine-Rich Protein 2 (PfHRP2) and Its Effect on the Performance of PfHRP2-Based Rapid Diagnostic Tests

TL;DR: The genetic diversity of PfHRP2, which includes numerous amino acid repeats, is examined to provide an alternative explanation for the variable sensitivity in field tests of malaria RDTs that is not due to the quality of the RDT

Malaria rapid diagnostic test performance : results of WHO product testing of malaria RDTs : round 5 (2013)

TL;DR: In 2012, there were an estimated 207 million cases (with an uncertainty range of 135 million to 287 million) and an estimated 627 000 deaths as discussed by the authors, and approximately 90% of all malaria deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa, and 77% occur in children under 5 years.
