Relationship between insecticide resistance profiles in <em>Anopheles gambiae</em> <em>sensu lato</em> and agricultural practices in Côte... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Insecticide-based malaria vector control is increasingly undermined due to the development of insecticide resistance in mosquitoes. Insecticide resistance may partially be related to the use [...] s between the type of agricultural practices and certain insecticide resistance profiles in the malaria vector An. gambiae s.l. which might arise from the use of pesticides deployed for protecting crops
Pharmacokinetics of ivermectin metabolites and their activity against <em>Anopheles stephensi </em>mosquitoes (Publications)
treat worm infections and ectoparasites including lice and scabies mites. Furthermore, survival of malaria transmitting Anopheles mosquitoes is strongly decreased after feeding on humans recently treated [...] . Currently, mass drug administration of ivermectin is under investigation as a potential novel malaria vector control tool to reduce Plasmodium transmission by mosquitoes. A "post-ivermectin effect" has

Strategies for conducting <em>Anopheles stephensi </em>surveys in non-endemic areas (Publications)
Anopheles stephensi, a malaria vector species previously only known from Asia, was first detected in Africa in Djibouti in 2012, has been subsequently collected in Ethiopia, Sudan, and Somalia, and may
Joziknipholones A and B: the first dimeric phenylanthraquinones from the roots of <em>Bulbine frutescens</em> (Publications)
M-configured. Joziknipholones A and B are active against the chloroquine resistant strain K1 of the malaria pathogen, Plasmodium falciparum, and show moderate activity against murine leukemic lymphoma L5178y

responders, respectively. Anti-CS protein antibodies increased with age but showed no association to malaria indices or morbidity. No protective value was observed with T cell responses or with humoral response
Cytochrome P450-mediated metabolism and CYP Inhibition for the synthetic peroxide antimalarial OZ439 (Publications)
OZ439 is a potent synthetic ozonide evaluated for the treatment of uncomplicated malaria. The metabolite profile of OZ439 was characterized in vitro using human liver microsomes combined with LC/MS-MS
Detection of pathogens of acute febrile illness using polymerase chain reaction from dried blood spots (Publications)
1% specificity against the whole blood qPCR cutoff of 21 that has been previously suggested for malaria diagnosis. For other pathogens investigated, DBS testing yielded a sensitivity of only 8.5% but a
Rapid mapping of schistosomiasis and other neglected tropical diseases in the context of integrated control programmes in Africa (Publications)
lessons from the mapping of human helminth infections may also be relevant for the rapid mapping of malaria as its control efforts are intensified
Palladium-catalysed synthesis of arylnaphthoquinones as antiprotozoal and antimycobacterial agents (Publications)
Malaria and tuberculosis are still among the leading causes of death in low-income countries. The 1,4-naphthoquinone (NQ) scaffold can be found in a variety of anti-infective agents. Herein, we report
