Modeling exposure to airborne metals using moss biomonitoring in cemeteries in two urban areas around Paris and Lyon in France (Publications)
Exposure of the general population to airborne metals remains poorly estimated despite the potential health risks. Passive moss biomonitoring can proxy air quality at fine resolution over large areas,
Combination of MALDI-TOf mass spectrometry and machine learning for rapid antimicrobial resistance screening: the CASE of <em>Campylobacter </em>spp (Publications)
While MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry (MS) is widely considered as the reference method for the rapid and inexpensive identification of microorganisms in routine laboratories, less attention has been addr
Travel behaviours and health outcomes during travel: profiling destination-specific risks in a prospective mHealth cohort of Swiss travellers (Publications)
BACKGROUND: We used a mobile application to determine the incidence of health events and risk behaviours during travel by country and identify which health risks are significantly elevated during trav
Malnutrition, anemia, micronutrient deficiency and parasitic infections among schoolchildren in rural Tanzania (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Malnutrition, anemia, micronutrient deficiency and parasitic infections continue to impact the nutritional status and health of children in lower-income countries, however not enough data
Investigational medicinal products, related costs and hospital pharmacy services for investigator-initiated trials: a mixed-methods study (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Conducting high quality investigator-initiated trials (IITs) is challenging and costly. The costs of investigational medicinal products (IMPs) in IITs and the role of hospital pharmacies i
<em>Mycobacterium leprae</em> infection in a wild nine-banded armadillo, Nuevo León, Mexico (Publications)
Nine-banded armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus) are naturally infected with Mycobacterium leprae and are implicated in the zoonotic transmission of leprosy in the United States. In Mexico, the existence
Long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and asthma symptom score in the CONSTANCES cohort (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The asthma symptom score allows to consider asthma as a continuum and to investigate its risk factors. One previous study has investigated the association between asthma score and air poll
Generation of aurachin derivatives by whole-cell biotransformation and evaluation of their antiprotozoal properties (Publications)
The natural product aurachin D is a farnesylated quinolone alkaloid, which is known to possess activity against the causative agent of malaria, Plasmodium spp. In this study, we show that aurachin D i
Diagnosis of helminths depends on worm fecundity and the distribution of parasites within hosts (Publications)
Helminth transmission and morbidity are dependent on the number of mature parasites within a host; however, observing adult worms is impossible for many natural infections. An outstanding challenge is
Modeling marine cargo traffic to identify countries in Africa with greatest risk of invasion by <em>Anopheles stephensi</em> (Publications)
Anopheles stephensi, an invasive malaria vector native to South Asia and the Arabian Peninsula, was detected in Djibouti's seaport, followed by Ethiopia, Sudan, Somalia, and Nigeria. If An. stephensi
