The impact of reactive case detection on malaria transmission in Zanzibar in the presence of human mobility (Publications)
Malaria persists at low levels on Zanzibar despite the use of vector control and case management. We use a metapopulation model to investigate the role of human mobility in malaria persistence on Zanz
Wastewater reveals the spatiotemporal spread of SARS-CoV-2 in the Canton of Ticino (Switzerland) during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic (Publications)
Wastewater-based epidemiology (WBE) has emerged as an effective tool for monitoring SARS-CoV-2 dynamics during the COVID-19 pandemic. Here, we add a spatial component to WBE and use it to investigate
Genome-wide analyses identify <em>SCN5A</em> as a susceptibility locus for premature atrial contraction frequency (Publications)
Premature atrial contractions (PACs) are frequently observed on electrocardiograms and are associated with increased risks of atrial fibrillation (AF), stroke, and mortality. In this study, we aimed t
MEMO: mass spectrometry-based sample vectorization to explore chemodiverse datasets (Publications)
In natural products research, chemodiverse extracts coming from multiple organisms are explored for novel bioactive molecules, sometimes over extended periods. Samples are usually analyzed by liquid c
Spatial analysis of schistosomiasis in Hunan and Jiangxi provinces in the People's Republic of China (Publications)
Understanding the spatial distribution of schistosome infection is critical for tailoring preventive measures to control and eliminate schistosomiasis. This study used spatial analysis to determine ri
Epidemiology of <em>Schistosoma mansoni</em> infection in Ituri Province, north-eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Schistosomiasis, caused by Schistosoma mansoni, is of great significance to public health in sub-Saharan Africa. In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), information on the burden of S.
Morbidity associated with <em>Schistosoma mansoni</em> infection in north-eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Reducing morbidity is the main target of schistosomiasis control efforts, yet only rarely do control programmes assess morbidity linked to Schistosoma sp. infection. In the Democratic Repu
