CHARACTERISING RESIDUAL MALARIA TRANSMISSION IN FORESTED AREAS WITH LOW COVERAGE OF CORE VECTOR CONTROL IN CENTRAL VIET NAM

Characterising residual malaria transmission in forested areas with low coverage of core vector control in central Viet Nam

Abstract Background Despite great success in significantly reducing the malaria burden in Viet Nam over recent years, the ongoing presence of malaria vectors and Plasmodium infection in remote forest areas and among marginalised groups presents a challenge to reaching elimination and a threat to re-emergence of transmission.Often transmission persi

When Ecological Analysis Reveals Hidden Human Dimensions: Building on Long-Term Community Participation to Enable a Conservation Translocation of Mountain Bongo in Kenya

Conservation translocations have traditionally focused on ecological aspects while overlooking or underestimating the importance of human dimensions.Here, we present a feasibility analysis for a conservation translocation that up front took a holistic approach by investigating both ecological and socio-economic suitability of reinforcing mountain b

An Eight-Channel MRI Head Coil Array for Enhanced MRI-Guided Transcranial Focused Ultrasound Imaging Performance

Magnetic resonance guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) thermal ablation is a new method of non-invasive neurosurgery that can benefit from improved MR imaging performance.The ultrasound transducer shields the radio-frequency field of the body coil, reducing transmit and receive sensitivity as well as reducing transmit homogeneity.To improve the qual
