Modelling Malaria Transmission in Ndumo and Shemula, KwaZulu-Natal
… Natal (KZN) province is the front runner for malaria elimination in South Africa. It accounts for a small proportion of the total number of malaria cases diagnosed in the whole country in recent times. This study focused on the key localities in the province, Ndumo, and Shemula which reported …

Simulation and visualization of malaria transmission In West Africa
… visualization framework development focusing on malaria transmission in West Africa. The simulation-based study introduces the concept of hysteresis in malaria transmission, which is defined as the dependence of malaria transmission on initial conditions of the system, characterizing the dry …

Meteorological influences on malaria transmission in Limpopo Province, South Africa
… regions of Africa are prone to epidemics of malaria. Epidemic malaria occurs along the geographical margins of endemic regions, when the equilibrium between the human, parasite and mosquito vector populations are occasionally disturbed by changes in one or more meteorological factors and a …

Spatial and Temporal Heterogeneity of Malaria Transmission in sub-Saharan Africa
The past decade has seen a marked decline in malaria transmission and substantial progress towards malaria control in parts of Africa. A key tool in malaria control is the insecticide treated net (ITN). However, malaria remains a public health emergency in sub-Saharan Africa with children under …

Determining Plasmodium falciparum Malaria Transmission Networks Through Sequenom And Capillary Electrophoresis Genotyping
Declining malaria transmission leads to infection hotspots which need to be targeted to eliminate and eradicate malaria. The degree of parasite mixing in and around transmission foci is likely to impact the effectiveness of targeted interventions and should be considered when developing control …

Malaria transmission around the Koka Reservoir in Ethiopia : field observations, model predictions, and strategies for prevention
New dam construction is likely to exacerbate malaria transmission in Africa. The vectors of malaria - Anopheles mosquitoes - use bodies of water as breeding sites. Thus, dams and their reservoirs are associated with elevated risks of malaria. In Africa, more than 150 dams are currently under …

The hydrology of malaria : field observations and mechanistic modeling of the malaria transmission response to environmental climatic variability
A coupled HYDrology, Entomology and MAlaria Transmission Simulator (HYDREMATS) has been developed. The model simulates the hydrological and climatological determinants of malaria transmission mechanistically and at high spatialand temporal resolution, and is valid for semi-arid, desert fringe …

Invasion genomics, adaptive evolution, and transcriptional plasticity of Anopheles stephensi in Ethiopia and Yemen : implications for malaria transmission and control.
… the Horn of Africa represents a major shift in malaria transmission dynamics, particularly in urban environments. This dissertation investigates how ecological pressures, transcriptomic plasticity, and genomic adaptation shape the invasion success of this emerging vector and influence malaria …

Mechanistic modelling of the links between environment, mosquitoes and malaria transmission in the current and future climates of West Africa
Malaria transmission in West Africa is closely tied to climate, as rain fed water pools provide breeding habitat for the anopheles mosquito vector, and temperature affects the mosquito's ability to spread disease. This thesis presents a framework of highly detailed, spatially explicit mechanistic …

Simulations and predictions of mosquito populations in rural Africa using rainfall inputs from satellites and forecasts
… on the use of the Hydrology, Entomology and Malaria Transmission Simulator (HYDREMATS) developed and tested against field data by Bomblies et al. (2008) in simulating and predicting the potential for malaria transmission in rural Africa. The first study examined the temporal resolution of …

The Role of Antibodies to <i>Plasmodium falciparum</i> Merozoite Antigens in the Resistance of Young Infants to Febrile Malaria and Their Place as a Biomarker in the Detection of Malaria Transmission Hotspots
Over the last 15 years the malaria burden has globally declined, but not evenly across endemic areas. In areas with substantial decline, elimination became realistic. However, malaria elimination has to, in a cost-effective way, overcome problems such as increasing drug and insecticide resistance …

Linking Environmental Factors To Vector Abundance And Malaria Incidence: A Multi-Model Investigation Of Disease Ecology.
… climatic, and entomological factors influencing malaria transmission in Mozambique. Malaria remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality across the country, where transmission dynamics are shaped by ecological heterogeneity, vector behavior, and changing environmental conditions. By …

Geostatistical design and analysis for estimating local variations in malaria disease burden
… findings are applied to the design of a rolling Malaria Indicator Survey (rMIS) in an ongoing large-scale, five-year malaria transmission reduction project in Malawi. In the second paper, we address the problem of efficient spatial prediction in the context of adaptive geostatistical designs …

An investigation of challenges that impede the elimination of malaria in Andara district, Kavango east region, Namibia
… challenges that impede the elimination of malaria in Andara District, Kavango East Region, Namibia, so that efforts may be put to address such. Interventions which have been put in place include universal large-scale deployment of indoor residual spraying, distributing insecticide-treated …

Mechanistic Studies on Memory of Chirality Alkylations of 1,4-Benzodiazepin-2-ones & Structure-based Design of Insecticidal AChE Inhibitors for Malaria Mosquito, Anopheles gambiae
… Approximately 2 million deaths are caused by malaria every year in the world. In total roughly 3.2 billion people are living under the risk of malaria transmission. Current use of anticholinesterase insecticides has been limited by their toxicity to human beings. A major African malaria insect …
