  2. 1. Ecology and control of Anopheles mosquitoes and human malaria in Guinea Bissau, West Africa

    Author : Katinka Pålsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ecology; Anopheles; Bed nets; Epidemiology; Malaria control; Natural mosquito repellents; Plasmodium; Ekologi; Terrestrial; freshwater and marine ecology; Terrestisk; limnisk och marin ekologi; Entomology; entomologi;

    Abstract : This thesis analyses the relationship between risk of exposure to infective Anophelesmosquitoes and different environmental factors, in particular house construction, presence ofdomestic animals and house location, in coastal Guinea Bissau, West Africa. The potentialeffect of permethrin-impregnated bed nets on mosquito abundance in bed rooms, and on thePlasmodium parasite prevalence in children was also analysed. READ MORE

  5. 3. Targeting malaria elimination : an assessment of malaria control interventions for children in Zanzibar

    Author : Netta Beer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Zanzibar;

    Abstract : Background: After decades of neglect, a renewed global focus on malaria was initiated in the 90s, followed by global financial support in the early 2000s. Zanzibar has been in the forefront of these renewed efforts: Case management and vector-control interventions have been implemented and scaled-up rapidly, resulting in markedly reduced malaria transmission and the targeting of malaria elimination.

  6. 4. Malaria control measures : impact on malaria and anaemia in holoendemic area of rural coastal Tanzania

    Author : Zul Premji; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Malaria is a major public health problem in tropical Africa. It is particularly the main killer disease in children below five years and its health impact is most severe in the rural areas. Malarial anaemia is believed to be the main complication in high endemic areas. READ MORE

  7. 5. Malaria on islands : human and parasite diversities and implications for malaria control in Vanuatu

    Author : Akira Kaneko; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : malaria; Plasmodium falciparum; Plasmodium vivax; glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency; CYP2C19; dihydrofolate reductase; cycloguanil; proguanil; mass drug administration; diversity; island; Vanuatu; Pacific;

    Abstract : The genetic diversities displayed by human and malaria parasites at different frequencies in different geographical areas represent a major obstacle for the development of malaria control strategies including malaria chemotherapy and malaria vaccine. We investigated some genetic diversities on Vanuatu islands with various malaria endemicities. READ MORE
