Synthesis of antimalarial 1,2,4-trioxanes via photooxygenation of a chiral allylic alcohol (Publications)
[reaction: see text] Photooxygenation of the chiral allylic alcohol 4-methyl-3-penten-2-ol (3) in nonpolar solvents and subsequent Lewis acid-catalyzed peroxyacetalization afforded a series of monocyc
Absence of anti-hepatitis B surface antibody after vaccination does not necessarily mean absence of immune response (Publications)
A small number of subjects vaccinated against hepatitis B do not produce anti-hepatitis B surface (HBs) antibody levels detectable by commercial assays. Others lose detectable anti-HBs at some time af
Imported schistosomiasis in Europe: sentinel surveillance data from TropNetEurop (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Schistosomiasis is a major parasitic disease, increasingly imported into temperate climates by immigrants from and travelers to endemic areas. METHOD: To generate valid data on imported in
Atropo-enantioselective total synthesis of knipholone and related antiplasmodial phenylanthraquinones (Publications)
The "lactone concept" has been efficiently employed for the first atropo-enantioselective synthesis of knipholone and related natural phenylanthraquinones. Besides the regio- and stereoselective const
Epithelial innate immunity. A novel antimicrobial peptide with antiparasitic activity in the blood-sucking insect<em> Stomoxys calcitrans</em> (Publications)
The gut epithelium is an essential interface in insects that transmit parasites. We investigated the role that local innate immunity might have on vector competence, taking Stomoxys calcitrans as a mo
The National Schistosomiasis Control Programme in Mali: objectives, organization, results (Publications)
Schistosomiasis control started regionally, in the Bandiagara district, and as a component of a dam-building project in 1978. In 1982 a national programme was created. Control was divided into three p
