TL;DR: In this paper, three clear water pools (diameter × depth: 0·16 × 0·04, 0·32 × 0.16 and 0·96 × 0 ·32 m) were created in Kenya and continuous water temperature measurements at various depths were combined with weather data collections from a meteorological station.

Accurate identification of centromere locations in yeast genomes using Hi-C
Nelle Varoquaux,Ivan Liachko,Ferhat Ay,Joshua N. Burton,Jay Shendure,Maitreya J. Dunham,Jean-Philippe Vert,William Stafford Noble +7 more
TL;DR: A method is described, Centurion, that jointly infers the locations of all centromeres in a single genome from Hi-C data by exploiting the centromres’ tendency to cluster in three-dimensional space and is shown to be robust in datasets with low sequencing depth.

Performance of rapid diagnostic test, blood-film microscopy and PCR for the diagnosis of malaria infection among febrile children from Korogwe District, Tanzania
Coline Mahende,Coline Mahende,Billy Ngasala,John Lusingu,John Lusingu,Tai Soon Yong,Paminus Lushino,Martha M. Lemnge,Bruno P. Mmbando,Zul Premji +9 more
TL;DR: Diagnosis of malaria infection is still a challenge due to variation in results among diagnostic methods, and HRP-2 malaria RDT and microscopy were less sensitive than PCR.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variation among Plasmodium falciparum Strains in Their Reliance on Mitochondrial Electron Transport Chain Function
Hangjun Ke,Joanne M. Morrisey,Suresh M. Ganesan,Heather J. Painter,Michael W. Mather,Akhil B. Vaidya +5 more
TL;DR: There are strain-specific differences in the requirement for mtETC activity among P. falciparum strains, suggesting that, in erythrocytic stages of the parasite, ubiquinone-dependent dehydrogenase activities other than those of DHODH are dispensable in some strains but are essential in others.

Triple Artemisinin-Based Combination Therapies for Malaria – A New Paradigm?
Rob W. van der Pluijm,Rob W. van der Pluijm,Chanaki Amaratunga,Chanaki Amaratunga,Mehul Dhorda,Mehul Dhorda,Arjen M. Dondorp,Arjen M. Dondorp +7 more
TL;DR: Triple artemisinin-based combination therapies will provide one of the last remaining safe and effective treatments for falciparum malaria that can be deployed rapidly in the Greater Mekong Subregion, whereas their deployment beyond the GMS could delay or prevent the global emergence and spread of resistance to currently available drugs.

Journal ArticleDOI
Malaria mortality rates in South Asia and in Africa: implications for malaria control.
TL;DR: This work examines malaria-related mortality under different circumstances and discusses implications for the management of malaria in these settings and emphasizes the power of rapid case treatment to save lives at risk under virtually all circumstances of malaria transmission.
Journal Article
Epidemiology of malaria in displaced Khmers on the Thai-Kampuchean border.
TL;DR: Malaria epidemiology from 1983 to 1985 in displaced Khmers living in camps on the Thai-Kampuchean border was studied and Epidemiological information has been more useful for planning than for evaluating control measures.
