Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A simple numerical approach to defining distribution of malaria transmission, based upon biological constraints of climate on parasite and vector development, provides a numerical basis for further refinement and prediction of the impact of climate change on transmission.

Journal ArticleDOI
Ernest Lacey1
TL;DR: Ernest Lacey examines this example of selectivity of drug action to the ubiquitous target of these drugs, the structural protein, tubulin, and investigates why benzimidazoles can selectively kill helminths and yet exhibit little or no mammalian toxicity.

Journal ArticleDOI
Chan Ms1
TL;DR: Using a mathematical model, it is estimated that approximately 70% of this burden can be prevented in high-prevalence communities by treating schoolchildren alone, and hence this provides a realistic approach for combating these infections in the future.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: Current knowledge on the distribution of the members of the Anopheles gambiae complex is reviewed, especially those belonging to species complexes that contain non-vector species.

496 citations

Journal ArticleDOI
