Human IgG response to a salivary peptide, gSG6-P1, as a new immuno-epidemiological tool for evaluating low-level exposure to Anophelesbites (2009)

Poinsignon, Anne, Cornelie, Sylvie, Ba, Fatou, Boulanger, Denis, Sow, Cheikh, Rossignol, Marie, ...

Abstract Background Human populations exposed to low malaria transmission present particular severe risks of malaria morbidity and mortality. In addition, in a context of low-level exposure to...

Assessment of the relative success of sporozoite inoculations in individuals exposed to moderate seasonal transmission (2009)

Tall, Adama, Sokhna, Cheikh, Perraut, Ronald, Fontenille, Didier, Marrama, Laurence, Ly, Alioune B, ...

Abstract Background The time necessary for malaria parasite to re-appear in the blood following treatment (re-infection time) is an indirect method for evaluating the immune defences operating...
