Journal ArticleDOI

Protective effects of the sickle cell gene against malaria morbidity and mortality

TL;DR: It is shown that HbAS provides significant protection against all-cause mortality, severe malarial anaemia, and high-density parasitaemia and this significant reduction in mortality was detected between the ages of 2 and 16 months, the highest risk period for severe malaria anaemia in this area.
Journal ArticleDOI

Community-wide effects of permethrin-treated bed nets on child mortality and malaria morbidity in western kenya

TL;DR: In areas with intense malaria transmission with high ITN coverage, the primary effect of insecticide-treated nets is via area-wide effects on the mosquito population and not, as commonly supposed, by simple imposition of a physical barrier protecting individuals from biting.
