Journal ArticleDOI

Restoration of visual function in P23H rhodopsin transgenic rats by gene delivery of BiP/Grp78

TL;DR: The preservation of photoreceptor function resulting from elevated levels of BiP is due to suppression of apoptosis rather than to a promotion of rhodopsin folding, and the preservation of vision in ADRP rats is preserved.
Journal ArticleDOI

Implications of insecticide resistance for malaria vector control with long-lasting insecticidal nets: a WHO-coordinated, prospective, international, observational cohort study

TL;DR: Irrespective of resistance, populations in malaria endemic areas should continue to use long-lasting insecticidal nets to reduce their risk of infection and the development of additional vector control tools should be prioritised to reduce the unacceptably high malaria burden.
Journal ArticleDOI

Malaria: Global progress 2000 – 2015 and future challenges

TL;DR: Reductions in malaria incidence and mortality rates were slowest in countries that had the largest numbers of malaria cases and deaths in 2000; reductions in incidence need to be greatly accelerated in these countries to achieve future malaria targets.
Journal ArticleDOI

Implementation of the global plan for insecticide resistance management in malaria vectors: progress, challenges and the way forward

TL;DR: There is an urgent need for a global response plan to address deficits and ensure the correct and efficient use of available tools in order to maintain the effectiveness of current vector control efforts whilst novel vector control tools are under development.
