Drug-resistance and population structure of plasmodium falciparum across the Democratic Republic of Congo using high-throughput molecular inversion probes
Ozkan Aydemir,Mark Janko,Nicholas J. Hathaway,Robert Verity,Melchior Kashamuka Mwandagalirwa,Antoinette Tshefu,Sofonias K. Tessema,Patrick W Marsh,Alice Tran,Thomas M. Reimonn,Azra C. Ghani,Anita Ghansah,Jonathan J. Juliano,Bryan Greenhouse,Michael Emch,Steven R. Meshnick,Jeffrey A. Bailey +16 more
TL;DR: Probing all known drug-resistance loci using molecular inversion probes across the Democratic Republic of the Congo reveals prevalence, frequency, and geographical distribution of drug-resistant parasites, as well as spread of sulfadoxine-res resistance mutations despite minimal official sulfadOXine use.
False-negative malaria rapid diagnostic test results and their impact on community-based malaria surveys in sub-Saharan Africa.
Oliver J Watson,Kelsey M. Sumner,Mark Janko,Varun Goel,Peter Winskill,Hannah C Slater,Azra C. Ghani,Steven R. Meshnick,Jonathan B. Parr +8 more
TL;DR: How the probability of detection by RDTs varies in different transmission settings is characterised and the need for careful interpretation of prevalence estimates based on surveys employing R DTs alone is emphasised.

The links between agriculture, Anopheles mosquitoes, and malaria risk in children younger than 5 years in the Democratic Republic of the Congo: a population-based, cross-sectional, spatial study
Mark Janko,Seth R. Irish,Seth R. Irish,Brian J. Reich,Marc Peterson,Stephanie M. Doctor,Melchior Kashamuka Mwandagalirwa,Joris L. Likwela,Antoinette Tshefu,Steven R. Meshnick,Michael Emch +10 more
TL;DR: A population-based, cross-sectional, spatial study of rural children in the DR Congo aimed at assessing the effect of agriculture on Anopheles biting behaviour and malaria risk in children in rural areas of the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Effect of individual and community-level bed net usage on malaria prevalence among under-fives in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Lauren Levitz,Mark Janko,Kashamuka Mwandagalirwa,Kyaw L. Thwai,Joris L. Likwela,Antoinette Tshefu,Michael Emch,Steven R. Meshnick +7 more
TL;DR: Individual and community LLIN usage were significantly associated with protection against malaria in children under 5 in the DRC, and LLINs treated with deltamethrin were shown to be more protective against malaria than LLINS treated with permethrin.
Malaria surveillance in the Democratic Republic of the Congo: comparison of microscopy, PCR, and rapid diagnostic test.

TL;DR: This study compares microscopy, PCR, and a rapid diagnostic test in 7137 samples from children in the Democratic Republic of the Congo using latent class analysis and finds PCR had the highest sensitivity and microscopy had the lowest.
