Journal ArticleDOI
A significant increase in kdr in Anopheles gambiae is associated with an intensive vector control intervention in Burundi highlands
Natacha Protopopoff,Natacha Protopopoff,Katrijn Verhaeghen,Wim Van Bortel,P Roelants,Tanguy Marcotty,Dismas Baza,Umberto D'Alessandro,Marc Coosemans,Marc Coosemans +9 more
TL;DR: In Burundi, the occurrence of the knock down resistance (kdr) mutation in Anopheles gambiae sensu lato (s.l.) was determined for six consecutive years within the framework of a vector control programme and was linked with the insecticide resistance status observed with bioassay.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial targeted vector control in the highlands of Burundi and its impact on malaria transmission
Natacha Protopopoff,Natacha Protopopoff,Wim Van Bortel,Tanguy Marcotty,Michel Van Herp,Peter Maes,Dismas Baza,Umberto D'Alessandro,Marc Coosemans,Marc Coosemans +9 more
TL;DR: Spatial targeted vector control effectively reduced Anopheles density and transmission in this highland district and could prevent the emergence and spread of an epidemic from these high risk foci.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combining individual patient data and aggregate data in mixed treatment comparison meta-analysis: Individual patient data may be beneficial if only for a subset of trials.
TL;DR: The proposed random-effects MTC models combine IPD and AD for a dichotomous outcome by including treatment-by-covariate interactions in the model and describe three different model specifications that make increasingly stronger assumptions regarding the interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adherence to 7-day primaquine treatment for the radical cure of P. vivax in the Peruvian Amazon.
Koen Peeters Grietens,Veronica Soto,Annette Erhart,Joan Muela Ribera,Elizabeth Toomer,Alex Tenorio,Tanilu Grande Montalvo,Hugo Rodriguez,Alejandro Llanos Cuentas,Umberto D'Alessandro,Dionicia Gamboa +10 more
TL;DR: Despite being free of charge, treatment adherence to 7-day primaquine for the radical cure of Plasmodium vivax was estimated at 62.2% among patients along the Iquitos-Nauta road in the Peruvian Amazon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Malaria in central Vietnam: analysis of risk factors by multivariate analysis and classification tree models
Ngo Duc Thang,Annette Erhart,Niko Speybroeck,Niko Speybroeck,Le Xuan Hung,Le Khanh Thuan,Cong Trinh Hung,Pham Van Ky,Marc Coosemans,Umberto D'Alessandro +9 more
TL;DR: Results show that the control of forest malaria remains an extremely complex task that has to address poverty-related risk factors such as education, ethnicity and housing conditions, and the combination of CART and multivariate analysis constitute a novel analytical approach.
