Journal ArticleDOI

Chris Drakeley,Patrick H. Corran,Paul G. Coleman,Jon Eric Tongren,Suzanna L. R. McDonald,Ilona Carneiro,Robert Malima,John Lusingu,Alphaxard Manjurano,Watoky M. M. M. Nkya,M.M. Lemnge,Jonathan Cox,Hugh Reyburn,Eleanor M. Riley +13 more
TL;DR: This work compared the prevalence of IgG antibodies with three Plasmodium falciparum asexual stage antigens in individuals of all ages living at varying altitudes encompassing a range of transmission intensities from hyper- to hypoendemic in northeastern Tanzania, with alternative measures of transmission intensity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Species shifts in the Anopheles gambiae complex: do LLINs successfully control Anopheles arabiensis?
Jovin Kitau,Richard M. Oxborough,Richard M. Oxborough,Patrick K. Tungu,Patrick K. Tungu,Johnson Matowo,Johnson Matowo,Robert Malima,Robert Malima,Stephen M. Magesa,Stephen M. Magesa,Stephen M. Magesa,Jane Bruce,Franklin W. Mosha,Franklin W. Mosha,Mark Rowland +15 more
TL;DR: LLINs and ITNs treated with pyrethroids were more effective at killing An.
Journal ArticleDOI
Altitude-Dependent and -Independent Variations in Plasmodium falciparum Prevalence in Northeastern Tanzania
Chris Drakeley,Ilona Carneiro,Hugh Reyburn,Robert Malima,John Lusingu,John Lusingu,Jonathan Cox,Thor G. Theander,Watoky M. M. M. Nkya,Martha M. Lemnge,Eleanor M. Riley +10 more
TL;DR: Altitude and rainfall were correlated with parasite prevalence and mean hemoglobin concentration; however, the relationship varied according to ecological setting, suggesting climatological variables alone cannot predict malarial outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
High level of resistance in the mosquito Anopheles gambiae to pyrethroid insecticides and reduced susceptibility to bendiocarb in north-western Tanzania
Natacha Protopopoff,Johnson Matowo,Robert Malima,Reginald A. Kavishe,Robert Kaaya,Alexandra Wright,Philippa A. West,Immo Kleinschmidt,William Kisinza,Franklin W. Mosha,Mark Rowland +10 more
TL;DR: Anopheles gambiae s.s has developed phenotypic resistance to pyrethroids and DDT and kdr frequency has almost reached fixation in north-western Tanzania, and this trend is likely to arise in other areas as resistance spreads or is subject to local selection from IRS or LLINs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Larvicidal and mosquitocidal extracts, a coumarin, isoflavonoids and pterocarpans from Neorautanenia mitis.
TL;DR: The findings corroborate traditional insecticidal application of N. mitis and the results can be extended for the control of mosquitoes especially at breeding sites.
