In this work, two mathematical models for malaria under resistance are presented. More precisely, the first model shows the interaction between humans and mosquitoes inside a patch under infection of malaria when the human population is…
Plasmodium of \emph{Physarum polycephalum} is a single cell visible by unaided eye. On a non-nutrient substrate the plasmodium propagates as a traveling localization, as a compact wave-fragment of protoplasm. The plasmodium-localization…
Malaria is a parasitic disease that is a major health problem in many tropical regions. The most characteristic symptom of malaria is fever. The fraction of fevers that are attributable to malaria, the malaria attributable fever fraction…
Malaria is a life-threatening disease affecting millions. Microscopy-based assessment of thin blood films is a standard method to (i) determine malaria species and (ii) quantitate high-parasitemia infections. Full automation of malaria…
The control of a mosquito population using the sterile insect technique is considered. Building on a model-based approach, where the control input is the release rate of sterilized males, we propose a non-negative backstepping control law…
Vector control plays a central role in the fight against vector-borne diseases and, in particular, arboviruses. The use of the endosymbiotic bacterium Wolbachia has proven effective in preventing the transmission of some of these viruses…
Various types of surface functionalized nanosilica (50-60 nm size with 3-10 nm inner pore size range) have been used to kill insect pests by sucking up cuticular lipids and breaking the water barrier. We have also utilized nanosilica for…
The process of making blood smears is common in both research and clinical settings, for investigating the health of blood cells and the presence of blood-borne parasites. It is very often carried out manually. We focus here on smears for…
Robotic surgery promises enhanced precision and adaptability over traditional surgical methods. It also offers the possibility of automating surgical interventions, resulting in reduced stress on the surgeon, better surgical outcomes, and…
Malaria parasites pose a significant global health burden, causing widespread suffering and mortality. Detecting malaria infection accurately is crucial for effective treatment and control. However, existing automated detection techniques…
The need to develop new methods for the high-sensitivity diagnosis of malaria has initiated a global activity in medical and interdisciplinary sciences. Most of the diverse variety of emerging techniques are based on research-grade…
Microorganisms are ubiquitous in nature, and microbial activities are closely intertwined with the entire life cycle system and human life. Developing novel technologies for the detection, characterization and manipulation of microorganisms…
The relatively low concentration of pathogen indicators, such Salmonella, in composting sometimes causes a problem with detection when using the conventional techniques. The presence of viable but non-culturable (VBNC) organisms is also a…
The rapid spread of West Nile Virus (WNV) is a growing concern. With no vaccines or specific medications available, prevention through mosquito control is the only solution to curb the spread. Mosquito traps, used to detect viral presence…
Oil wastewater and spilled oil caused serious environmental pollution and damage to public health in the last years. Therefore, considerable efforts are made to develop sorbent materials able to separate oil from water with high selectivity…
Hyperspectral (HS) imagery in agriculture is becoming increasingly common. These images have the advantage of higher spectral resolution. Advanced spectral processing techniques are required to unlock the information potential in these HS…
We use liquid phase exfoliation to produce dispersions of molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) nanoflakes in aqueous surfactant solutions. The chemical structures of the bile salt surfactants play a crucial role in the exfoliation and stabilization…
Antimicrobial biomaterials are critical to aid in the regeneration of oral soft tissue and prevent or treat localised bacterial infections. With the rising trend in antibiotic resistance, there is a pressing clinical need for new…
We describe a method for constructing mock galaxy catalogues which are well suited for use in conjunction with large photometric surveys. We use the semi-analytic galaxy formation model of Bower et al. implemented in the Millennium…
Disaggregation modelling is a method of predicting disease risk at high resolution using aggregated response data. High resolution disease mapping is an important public health tool to aid the optimisation of resources, and is commonly used…
