Mshani I, Jackson F, Minja E, Abbasi S, Lilolime N, Makala F, et al.
Malar J . 2024 Dec; 23(1):376. PMID: 39696325
Background: Malaria-endemic countries are increasingly adopting data-driven risk stratification, often at district or higher regional levels, to guide their intervention strategies. The data typically comes from population-level surveys collected by...

Pazmino-Betancourth M, Casas Gomez-Uribarri I, Mondragon-Shem K, Babayan S, Baldini F, Haines L
Biol Methods Protoc . 2024 Sep; 9(1):bpae058. PMID: 39290986
Tsetse are the insects responsible for transmitting African trypanosomes, which cause sleeping sickness in humans and animal trypanosomiasis in wildlife and livestock. Knowing the age of these flies is important...

Mshani I, Jackson F, Mwanga R, Kweyamba P, Mwanga E, Tambwe M, et al.
Malar J . 2024 Jun; 23(1):188. PMID: 38880870
Background: Effective testing for malaria, including the detection of infections at very low densities, is vital for the successful elimination of the disease. Unfortunately, existing methods are either inexpensive but...

Mwanga E, Kweyamba P, Siria D, Mshani I, Mchola I, Makala F, et al.
Sci Rep . 2024 May; 14(1):12100. PMID: 38802488
Field-derived metrics are critical for effective control of malaria, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa where the disease kills over half a million people yearly. One key metric is entomological inoculation rate,...

Mwanga E, Mchola I, Makala F, Mshani I, Siria D, Mwinyi S, et al.
Malar J . 2024 Mar; 23(1):86. PMID: 38532415
Background: The degree to which Anopheles mosquitoes prefer biting humans over other vertebrate hosts, i.e. the human blood index (HBI), is a crucial parameter for assessing malaria transmission risk. However,...

Mwanga E, Siria D, Mshani I, Mwinyi S, Abbasi S, Jimenez M, et al.
Parasit Vectors . 2024 Mar; 17(1):143. PMID: 38500231
Background: Accurately determining the age and survival probabilities of adult mosquitoes is crucial for understanding parasite transmission, evaluating the effectiveness of control interventions and assessing disease risk in communities. This...

Dunbar D, Babayan S, Krumrie S, Haining H, Hosie M, Weir W
Sci Rep . 2024 Jan; 14(1):2517. PMID: 38291072
Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a severe feline coronavirus-associated syndrome in cats, which is invariably fatal without anti-viral treatment. In the majority of non-effusive FIP cases encountered in practice, confirmatory...

Mshani I, Siria D, Mwanga E, Sow B, Sanou R, Opiyo M, et al.
Malar J . 2023 Nov; 22(1):346. PMID: 37950315
Studies on the applications of infrared (IR) spectroscopy and machine learning (ML) in public health have increased greatly in recent years. These technologies show enormous potential for measuring key parameters...

Mwanga E, Siria D, Mitton J, Mshani I, Gonzalez-Jimenez M, Selvaraj P, et al.
BMC Bioinformatics . 2023 Jan; 24(1):11. PMID: 36624386
Background: Old mosquitoes are more likely to transmit malaria than young ones. Therefore, accurate prediction of mosquito population age can drastically improve the evaluation of mosquito-targeted interventions. However, standard methods...

Liu W, McNeilly T, Mitchell M, Burgess S, Nisbet A, Matthews J, et al.
NPJ Vaccines . 2022 Jul; 7(1):78. PMID: 35798788
Individuals vary broadly in their response to vaccination and subsequent challenge infection, with poor vaccine responders causing persistence of both infection and transmission in populations. Yet despite having substantial economic...
