Antibody Profiles to P. falciparum Antigens over Time Characterize Acute and Long-Term Malaria Exposure in an Area of Low and Unstable Transmission
(The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2020-12-02)
Prevalence and levels of antibodies to multiple Plasmodium falciparum antigens show promise as tools for estimating malaria exposure. In a highland area of Kenya with unstable transmission, we assessed the presence and ...
A mass insecticide-treated bed net distribution campaign reduced malaria risk on an individual but not population level in a highland epidemic-prone area of Kenya
(The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2020-12-02)
