Spatial variability of nitrogen dioxide and formaldehydeand residential exposure of children in the industrial area of Viadana, Northern Italy (Publications)
Chipboard production is a source of ambient air pollution. We assessed the spatial variability of outdoor pollutants and residentialexposure of children living in proximity to the largest chipboard in
Community transmission of SARS-CoV‑2 by surfaces: risks and risk reduction strategies (Publications)
SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, isperceived to be primarily transmitted via person-to-person contact throughdroplets produced while talking, coughing, and sneezing. Transm
Structure-activity relationships of cinnamate ester analogues as potent antiprotozoal agents (Publications)
Protozoal infections are still a global health problem, threatening the lives of millions of people around the world, mainly in impoverished tropical and sub-tropical regions. Thus, in view of the lac
Fine-scale distribution of malaria mosquitoes biting or resting outside human dwellings in three low-altitude Tanzanian villages (Publications)
BACKGROUND: While malaria transmission in Africa still happens primarily inside houses, there is a substantial proportion of Anopheles mosquitoes that bite or rest outdoors. This situation may comprom

BACKGROUND: The evaluation of procedures for drug susceptibility prediction of Mycobacterium tuberculosis based on genomic data against the conventional reference method test based on culture is reali
Health studies in the context of artisanal and small-scale mining: a scoping review (Publications)
Artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) is an important livelihood activity in many lowand middle-income countries. It is widely acknowledged that there are a myriad of health risk and opportunities as
A hybrid air pollution / land use regression model for predicting air pollution concentrations in Durban, South Africa (Publications)
The objective of this paper was to incorporate source-meteorological interaction information from two commonly employed atmospheric dispersion models into the land use regression technique for predict
Parallel trends in the transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and retail/recreation and public transport mobility during non-lockdown periods (Publications)
Recent literature strongly supports the idea that mobility reduction and social distancing play a crucial role in transmission of SARS-Cov-2 infections. It was shown during the first wave that mobilit
