The researcher has conducted extensive research on malaria detection, diagnosis, treatment, and control in Ghana. Their work focuses on identifying Plasmodium species after asymptomatic infections using various methods, characterizing their gene expression patterns within host cells, and developing diagnostic tools to prevent malaria in children less than five years old. The findings highlight the effectiveness of treatments like ACT (Asymptomatic Gibbs Reproductive Infection) in detecting specific malaria parasites and suggest that immune evasion mechanisms, such as cross-stage antigenic targeting, can be harnessed for potential antimalarial drug development. Additionally, the researcher has examined seasonal patterns of malaria, including its prevalence in communities with prolonged transmission periods, emphasizing the importance of early diagnostic testing to prevent severe cases among vulnerable populations.
