  • Plasmodium falciparum importation does not sustain malaria transmission in a semi-arid region of Kenya 
    MarkwalterI, Christine F.; Menya, Diana; Wesolowski, Amy; Esimit, Daniel; Lokoel, Gilchrist; Kipkoech, Joseph; Freedman, Elizabeth; Sumner, Kelsey M.; Abel, Lucy; Ambani, George; Meredith, Hannah R.; Taylor, Steve M.; Obala, Andrew A.; O’Meara, Wendy P. (PLOS Global Public Health, 2022-08-10)
    Human movement impacts the spread and transmission of infectious diseases. Recently, a large reservoir of Plasmodium falciparum malaria was identified in a semi-arid region of northwestern Kenya historically considered ...
  • Ristro: An R package for vector bloodmeal identification by short tandem repeat overlap 
    Lapp, Zena; Abel, Lucy; Mangeni, Judith; Obala, Andrew A.; O'Meara, Wendy P.; Taylor, Steve M.; Markwalter, Christine F. (John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2024-12-03)
    Measuring vector–human contact in a natural setting can inform precise target- ing of interventions to interrupt transmission of vector-borne diseases. One ap- proach is to directly match human DNA in vector bloodmeals ...
  • Superinfection plays an important role in the acquisition of complex Plasmodium falciparum infections among female Anopheles mosquitoes 
    Bérubé, Sophie; Freedman, Betsy; Menya, Diana; Kipkoech, Joseph; Abel, Lucy; Lapp, Zena; Taylor, Steve M.; O’Meara, Wendy Prudhomme; Obala, Andrew A.; Wesolowski, Amy (Biorxiv, 2022-12-07)
    Studies of human malaria infections with multiple, genetically distinct parasites have illuminated mechanisms of malaria transmission. However, few studies have used the genetic diversity in mosquito infections to understand ...
  • Symptomatic malaria enhances protection from reinfection with homologous Plasmodium falciparum parasites 
    Markwalter, Christine F.; Petersen, Jens E. V; Zeno, Erica E; Sumne, Kelsey M; Freedman, Elizabeth; Mangen, Judith N.; Abel, Lucy; Obala, Andrew A; Prudhomme-O’Meara, Wendy; Taylor, Steve M. (PLOS ONE, 2022-06-12)
    A signature remains elusive of naturally-acquired immunity against Plasmodium falciparum. We identified P. falciparum in a 14-month cohort of 239 people in Kenya, genotyped at immunogenic parasite targets expressed in ...
