How to quantify developmental synchrony in malaria parasites

This paper develops a method to quantify developmental synchrony in malaria parasites that accounts for population dynamics and validates it using simulated data.

Vector diversity and malaria prevalence: global trends and local determinants

This study examines how vector diversity affects malaria prevalence globally, finding that the relationship varies by latitude and is influenced by environmental and socioeconomic factors.

Immune selection suppresses the emergence of drug resistance in malaria parasites but facilitates its spread

This paper uses a multiscale agent-based model to show that immune selection suppresses resistance emergence in high transmission malaria settings but facilitates its spread once resistance is common.

Mosaic vaccination: how distributing different vaccines across a population could improve epidemic control

This paper investigates mosaic vaccination, where different vaccines are distributed across a population, showing it can reduce infections and improve vaccine efficacy compared to uniform vaccination.

Coevolution of virulence and immunosuppression in multiple infections

This study shows immunosuppression in parasites can both enhance and hinder virulence evolution through multiple infections, depending on host mortality and trade-off shapes.
