Portwood N, Shayo M, Tungu P, Mbewe N, Mlay G, Small G, et al.
Sci Rep . 2022 Dec; 12(1):22359. PMID: 36572746
Novel insecticides are urgently needed to control insecticide-resistant populations of Anopheles malaria vectors. Broflanilide acts as a non-competitive antagonist of the gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor and has shown prolonged effectiveness as...
2.
Snetselaar J, Lees R, Foster G, Walker K, Manunda B, Malone D, et al.
Insects . 2022 Jun; 13(6). PMID: 35735860
Indoor residual spraying (IRS) has changed little since its introduction in the 1940s. Manual spraying is still prone to variation in insecticide dose. To improve the application of IRS in...

Tungu P, Rowland M, Messenger L, Small G, Bradley J, Snetselaar J, et al.
BMC Infect Dis . 2022 Feb; 22(1):171. PMID: 35189830
Background: Indoor residual spraying (IRS) is a major method of malaria vector control across sub-Saharan Africa. Effective control is being undermined by the rapid spread of insecticide resistance. There is...

Snetselaar J, Rowland M, Manunda B, Kisengwa E, Small G, Malone D, et al.
PLoS One . 2021 Mar; 16(3):e0248026. PMID: 33657179
Novel chemistry for vector control is urgently needed to counter insecticide resistance in mosquitoes. Here a new meta-diamide insecticide, broflanilide (TENEBENALTM), was evaluated in East African experimental huts in Moshi,...

Abeku T, Helinski M, Kirby M, Kefyalew T, Awano T, Batisso E, et al.
Malar J . 2019 Nov; 18(1):373. PMID: 31767013
Please be advised that one of the author names is incorrectly spelled in the published article: 'Irene Kyomuhagi' should be 'Irene Kyomuhangi'.

Lindsay S, Jawara M, Mwesigwa J, Achan J, Bayoh N, Bradley J, et al.
Sci Rep . 2019 May; 9(1):7770. PMID: 31123317
In The Gambia, metal-roof houses were hotter during the day than thatched-roof houses. After 24 h, the mortality of Anopheles gambiae, the principal African malaria vector, was 38% higher in...

Abeku T, Helinski M, Kirby M, Ssekitooleko J, Bass C, Kyomuhangi I, et al.
Malar J . 2017 Apr; 16(1):156. PMID: 28427415
Background: Resistance of malaria vectors to pyrethroid insecticides has been attributed to selection pressure from long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs), indoor residual spraying (IRS), and the use of chemicals in agriculture....

Tungu P, Messenger L, Kirby M, Sudi W, Kisinza W, Rowland M
Arch Public Health . 2017 Jan; 74:56. PMID: 28042474
Background: Universal coverage of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LNs) made from polyester or polyethylene fibres has been adopted as the standard of care to control malaria among at-risk populations. To obtain...

Bottomley C, Kirby M, Lindsay S, Alexander N
BMC Med Res Methodol . 2016 Mar; 16:29. PMID: 26956373
Background: Clustering commonly affects the uncertainty of parameter estimates in epidemiological studies. Cluster-robust variance estimates (CRVE) are used to construct confidence intervals that account for single-level clustering, and are easily...

Abeku T, Helinski M, Kirby M, Kefyalew T, Awano T, Batisso E, et al.
Malar J . 2015 Sep; 14:337. PMID: 26337671
Background: Scale-up of malaria interventions seems to have contributed to a decline in the disease but other factors may also have had some role. Understanding changes in transmission and determinant...
