Identification and characterization of areas of high and low risk for asymptomatic malaria infections at sub-village level in Ratanakiri, Cambodia Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde Universiteit Antwerpen
Background: Malaria elimination needs a concentration of activities towards identification of residual transmission foci and intensification of efforts to eliminate the last few infections, located in so-called 'malaria hotspots'. Previous work on characterizing malaria transmission hotspots has mainly focused on falciparum malaria and especially on symptomatic cases, while the malaria reservoir is expected to be mainly concentrated in the ...
The diagnostic accuracy of the hand-held Raman spectrometer for the identification of anti-malarial drugs Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
Background: There is a need for accurate and field-applicable instruments for the evaluation of the quality of antimalarial drugs. The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of the NanoRam (R), a handheld Raman spectrometer (RS), to identify anti-malarial drugs.
Methods: In total, 289 anti-malarial drugs collected in a randomized field survey in Gabon were evaluated. The samples were compared with authentic ...

Experimental studies conducted in the 1980s and 1990s have made it clear that the life cycle of T. asiatica is comparable to that of T. saginata, except for pigs ...
