TL;DR: The estimates of divergence time between the South American populations and their likely sources favor a likely introduction from Africa during the transatlantic slave trade, and Phylogenetic analyses, as well as Approximate Bayesian Computation methods suggest independent introductions of the two clusters from African sources.
Human antibody responses to the Anopheles salivary gSG6-P1 peptide: a novel tool for evaluating the efficacy of ITNs in malaria vector control.
Papa M. Drame,Anne Poinsignon,Patrick Besnard,Sylvie Cornelie,Jacques Le Mire,J.C. Toto,Vincent Foumane,Maria Adelaide Dos-Santos,Mbacké Sembène,Filomeno Fortes,François Simondon,Pierre Carnevale,Franck Remoue +12 more
TL;DR: IgG responses to one salivary peptide could constitute a reliable biomarker for the evaluation of ITN efficacy, at short- and long-term use, and provide a valuable tool in malaria vector control based on a real measurement of human-vector contact.
Human antibody response to Anopheles gambiae saliva: an immuno-epidemiological biomarker to evaluate the efficacy of insecticide-treated nets in malaria vector control.
Papa M. Drame,Anne Poinsignon,Patrick Besnard,Jacques Le Mire,Maria Adelaide Dos-Santos,Cheikh Sow,Sylvie Cornelie,Vincent Foumane,J.C. Toto,Mbacké Sembène,Denis Boulanger,François Simondon,Filomeno Fortes,Pierre Carnevale,Franck Remoue +14 more
TL;DR: A significant decrease in the anti-saliva IgG response was observed after the introduction of ITNs, and this was associated with a drop in parasite load.

Human antibody response to Anopheles saliva for comparing the efficacy of three malaria vector control methods in Balombo, Angola.
Laura Brosseau,Papa M. Drame,Patrick Besnard,J.C. Toto,Vincent Foumane,Jacques Le Mire,François Mouchet,Franck Remoue,Richard Allan,Filomeno Fortes,Pierre Carnevale,Sylvie Manguin +11 more
TL;DR: These results indicated that these three vector control methods significantly reduced malaria infections amongst the children studied and IRS significantly reduced the human-Anopheles contact.
Malaria overdiagnosis and subsequent overconsumption of antimalarial drugs in Angola: Consequences and effects on human health.
TL;DR: Presumptive malaria cases were diagnosed six times more than the positive thick blood smears done on the same children, and the need for an accurate evaluation of the Malaria control programme implemented in Angola is highlighted.
