-
(Elsevier, 2022-05)Preventing human-to-mosquito transmission of malaria parasites provides possible solutions to interrupt the malaria parasite life cycle for malaria elimination. The development of validated routine assays enabled the ...
-
(BMC, 2022-03)BACKGROUND : Malaria is a devastating disease, transmitted by female Anopheles mosquitoes infected with Plasmodium parasites. Current insecticide-based strategies exist to control the spread of malaria by targeting vectors. ...
-
(Frontiers Media, 2022-04)The prospect of eradicating malaria continues to be challenging in the face of increasing parasite resistance to antimalarial drugs so that novel antimalarials active against asexual, sexual, and liver-stage malaria parasites ...
-
(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2021-12)We conducted a survey for group-specific indirect immunofluorescence antibody to mammarenaviruses by using Lassa fever and Mopeia virus antigens on serum specimens of 5,363 rodents of 33 species collected in South Africa ...
-
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2022-01-25)Light is a fundamental cue regulating a host of biological responses. The artificial modification thereof demonstrably impacts a wide range of organisms. The use of artificial light is changing in type, extent and ...
-
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2022-04-01)Plasmodium falciparum remains the deadliest parasite species in the world, responsible for 229 million cases of human malaria in 2019. The ability of the P. falciparum parasite to progress through multiple life cycle ...
-
Prenatal exposure to insecticides and child cardiometabolic risk factors in the VHEMBE birth cohort (Wolters Kluwer Health, 2022-04)BACKGROUND : As part of malaria control programs, many countries spray dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) or pyrethroid insecticides inside dwellings in a practice called indoor residual spraying that results in high ...
-
(BioMed Central, 2021-06-02)BACKGROUND : Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) are the most widely used malaria prevention and control intervention in Africa. However, their effectiveness may vary depending on their local geographic coverage, ownership ...
-
(De Gruyter, 2021-06-02)A novel method for estimating the upper critical solution temperature (UCST) of N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET)-polyethylene systems was developed. It was validated using data for the dimethylacetamide (DMA)-alkane systems ...
-
(BioMed Central, 2021-03-20)Eswatini was the first country in sub-Saharan Africa to pass a National Malaria Elimination Policy in 2011, and later set a target for elimination by the year 2020. This case study aimed to review the malaria surveillance ...
-
(BioMed Central, 2021-01-09)BACKGROUND : Anopheles species identification is essential for an effective malaria vector control programme. Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS) has been developed ...
-
(BioMed Central, 2021-03-24)Malaria is a principal cause of illness and death in countries where the disease is endemic. Personal protection against mosquitoes using repellents could be a useful method that can reduce and/or prevent transmission of ...
-
(BioMed Central, 2021-03-19)BACKGROUND : Integrated vector management (IVM) is defined as a rational decision-making process for the optimal use of resources for vector control. The IVM approach is based on the premise that effective control of ...
-
(MDPI, 2021-10)Mosquitoes in the Aedes and Culex genera are considered the main vectors of pathogenic flaviviruses worldwide. Entomological surveillance using universal flavivirus sets of primers in mosquitoes can detect not only ...
-
(Elsevier, 2022-08)A sensitive method based on ultrasound-assisted liquid extraction coupled with liquid chromatography was applied to screen 18 plastic-related contaminants in 168 food composites (namely fish fillets, chicken breast, canned ...
-
(American Chemical Society, 2022-01)Children in low- and middle-income countries are often exposed to higher levels of chemicals and are more vulnerable to the health effects of air pollution. Little is known about the diversity, toxicity, and dynamics of ...
-
(BMC, 2021-06)BACKGROUND: There is a paucity of recent data and knowledge on mosquito diversity and potential vectors of arboviruses in South Africa, with most of the available data dating back to the 1950s–1970s. Aedes and Culex species ...
-
(BMC, 2021-07)BACKGROUND: Malaria control primarily depends on two vector control strategies: indoor residual spraying (IRS) and long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLINs). Both IRS and LLIN target indoor-biting mosquitoes. However, ...
-
(Taylor and Francis, 2021)Four southern Africa countries, namely, Botswana, Eswatini, Namibia and South Africa, were identified by the World Health Organization as having the potential to eliminate malaria in the near future. However, the extreme ...
-
(Taylor and Francis, 2021)The effectiveness of current antimalarial therapies that cure patients of the pathogenic asexual blood stages is rapidly declining due to the spread of antimalarial drug resistance. This requires the development of novel ...
