Therapeutic efficacy of albendazole against soil-transmitted helminthiasis in children measured by five diagnostic methods (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Preventive chemotherapy (PC) with benzimidazole drugs is the backbone of soil-transmitted helminth (STH) control programs. Over the past decade, drug coverage has increased and with it, th
Modelling reactive case detection strategies for interrupting transmission of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> malaria (Publications)
BACKGROUND: As areas move closer to malaria elimination, a combination of limited resources and increasing heterogeneity in case distribution and transmission favour a shift to targeted reactive inter
Theory of reactive interventions in the elimination and control of malaria (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Reactive case detection (RCD) is an integral part of many malaria control and elimination programmes and can be conceived of as a way of gradually decreasing transmission. However, it is u
<em>N</em>-substituted noscapine derivatives as new antiprotozoal agents: synthesis, antiparasitic activity and molecular docking study (Publications)
Novel N-substituted noscapine derivatives were synthesized by a three-component Strecker reaction of cyclic ether of N-nornoscapine with varied aldehydes, in the presence of cyanide ion. Moreover, the
