Temperature and Malaria Trends in Highland East Africa

TL;DR: A new robust trend test is applied to mean temperature time series data from three editions of the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit database (CRU TS) for several relevant locations and finds significant trends in the data extracted from newer edition of the database but not in the older version for periods ending in 1996.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improved prediction accuracy for disease risk mapping using Gaussian process stacked generalization

TL;DR: In this article, an ensemble approach based on stacked generalization that allows for multiple nonlinear algorithmic mean functions to be jointly embedded within the Gaussian process framework is presented. And the results show that the generalized ensemble approach markedly outperforms any individual method.
Journal ArticleDOI

How long do rapid diagnostic tests remain positive after anti-malarial treatment?

TL;DR: It is shown that children display persistent RDT positivity for longer after treatment than adults, and that persistent positivity is more common when an individual is treated with artemisinin combination therapy than when treated with other anti-malarials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transmission-blocking interventions eliminate malaria from laboratory populations

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report the first experiments using a population, transmission-based study of Plasmodium berghei in Anopheles stephensi to assess the impact of a transmission-blocking drug upon both insect and host populations over multiple transmission cycles.
