supply, different perception of medication needs and compliance as well as concomitant diseases like malaria, soil-transmitted helminths, schistosomiasis or HIV. All these factors may influence the efficacy
Generation of aurachin derivatives by whole-cell biotransformation and evaluation of their antiprotozoal properties (Publications)
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 inhibits other parasitic protozoa as well
Different classes of genomic inserts contribute to human antibody diversity (Publications)
elements from distant genes in antibody transcripts. Independent of the preexposure of donors to malaria parasites, non-VDJ inserts were detected in 80% of individuals at frequencies of 1 in 10(4) to 10(5)
Morbidity due to <em>Schistosoma mansoni</em>: an epidemiological assessment of distended abdomen syndrome in Ugandan school children with... (Publications)
chronically evolved morbidity and/or that other interacting factors were involved, e.g. malnutrition and malaria. At 1-year follow-up, ACR scores showed an overall trend of regression towards the mean, potentially
<em>Plasmodium berghei </em>subunit vaccine: repeat synthetic peptide of circumsporozoite protein comprising T- and B-cell epitopes fails to confer... (Publications)
In the murine malaria model induced by Plasmodium berghei, we studied the immunogenicity of the repeat region of the circumsporozoite (CS) protein, which is the main target of the antibody response in
Novel inhibitors of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> dihydroorotate dehydrogenase with anti-malarial activity in the mouse model (Publications)
Plasmodium falciparum, the causative agent of the most deadly form of human malaria, is unable to salvage pyrimidines and must rely on de novo biosynthesis for survival. Dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH)
Isothermal microcalorimetry, a new tool to monitor drug action against <em>Trypanosoma brucei</em> and <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> (Publications)
the toolbox for drug discovery for protozoal diseases such as human African trypanosomiasis and malaria. The method could probably be adapted to other protozoan parasites, especially those growing ext
Characterization of the small exported <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> membrane protein SEMP1 (Publications)
Survival and virulence of the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum during the blood stage of infection critically depend on extensive host cell refurbishments mediated through export of numerous
Pyrethroid tolerance is associated with elevated expression of antioxidants and agricultural practice in <em>Anopheles arabiensis</em> sampled from an... (Publications)

In vitro interaction of artemisinin derivatives or the fully synthetic peroxidic anti-malarial OZ277 with thapsigargin in <em>Plasmodium... (Publications)
artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT) recommended as first-line treatment of Plasmodium falciparum malaria in disease-endemic countries. Studies by Eckstein-Ludwig and co-workers showed both thapsigargin
