Emerson, P. M., Lindsay, S. W., Alexander, N., Bah, M., Dibba, S. M., Faal, H. B., ...
Eye-seeking flies have received much attention as possible trachoma vectors, but this remains unproved. We aimed to assess the role of eye-seeking flies as vectors of trachoma and to test provision...
R. Bødker, J. Akida, D. Shayo, W. Kisinza, H. A. Msangeni, E. M. Pedersen, ...
There is a consensus that malaria is a growing problem in African highlands. This is surprising because many parts of the highlands were considered too cold to support transmission. In this report,...
Changes in house design reduce exposure to malaria mosquitoes. (2003)
Lindsay, S. W., Jawara, M., Paine, K., Pinder, M., Walraven, G. E. L., Emerson, P. M.
House design may affect an individual's exposure to malaria parasites, and hence to disease. We conducted a randomized-controlled study using experimental huts in rural Gambia, to determine whether...
Safety of the insect repellent N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET) in pregnancy. (2001)
