Open AccessThe temporal dynamics and infectiousness of subpatent Plasmodium falciparum infections in relation to parasite density
Malaria infections occurring below the limit of detection of standard diagnostics are common in all endemic settings. However, key questions remain surrounding their contribution to sustaining transmission and...

Open AccessExamining the human infectious reservoir for Plasmodium falciparum malaria in areas of differing transmission intensity
A detailed understanding of the human infectious reservoir is essential for improving malaria transmission-reducing interventions. Here we report a multi-regional assessment of population-wide malaria transmis...

Open AccessMalaria hotspots defined by clinical malaria, asymptomatic carriage, PCR and vector numbers in a low transmission area on the Kenyan Coast
Targeted malaria control interventions are expected to be cost-effective. Clinical, parasitological and serological markers of malaria transmission have been used to detect malaria transmission hotspots, but f...

Open AccessGenomic signatures of population decline in the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae
Population genomic features such as nucleotide diversity and linkage disequilibrium are expected to be strongly shaped by changes in population size, and might therefore be useful for monitoring the success of...

Mosquito species abundance and diversity in Malindi, Kenya and their potential implication in pathogen transmission
Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) are important vectors of human disease-causing pathogens. Mosquitoes are found both in rural and urban areas. Deteriorating infrastructure, poor access to health, water and sani...
