potent antiparasitic agents with proven activity against tropical diseases like trypanosomiasis and malaria. This work presents the synthesis of new mono and diflexible triaryl amidines (6a-c, 13a,b and 17)
Differences in affinity of monoclonal and naturally acquired polyclonal antibodies against <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> merozoite antigens (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Malaria is a major global cause of deaths and a vaccine is urgently needed. RESULTS: We have employed the P. falciparum merozoite antigens MSP2-3D7/FC27 and AMA1, used them in ELISA, and coupled

Efficacy and safety of artemether in the treatment of chronic fascioliasis in Egypt: exploratory phase-2 trials (Publications)
20 mg/kg (4 patients; CR: 75%, ERR: 96%). CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE: Artemether, administered at malaria treatment regimens, shows no or only little effect against fascioliasis, and hence does not represent
<em>P. falciparum</em> and <em>P. vivax</em> orthologous coiled-coil candidates for a potential cross-protective vaccine (Publications)
Over the last four decades, significant efforts have been invested to develop vaccines against malaria. Although most efforts are focused on the development of P. falciparum vaccines, the current availability
Identification and deconvolution of cross-resistance signals from antimalarial compounds using multidrug-resistant <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em>... (Publications)
Plasmodium falciparum, the most deadly malaria agent, displays a wide variety of resistance mechanisms in the field. The ability of antimalarial compounds in development to overcome these must therefore
Perceptions on the effect of small electric fans on comfort inside bed nets in southern Ghana: a qualitative study (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) are known to be highly effective in reducing malaria transmission, morbidity and mortality. However, among those owning an LLIN, use rates are often
Global metabolic responses of NMRI mice to an experimental <em>Plasmodium berghei</em> infection (Publications)
metabolic profiling may provide a sensitive diagnostic tool of Plasmodium infection and the control of malaria more generally
Histopathological changes in adult <em>Schistosoma japonicum</em> harbored in mice treated with a single dose of mefloquine (Publications)
New research has shown that mefloquine, an arylaminoalcohol used against malaria, is active against Schistosoma japonicum and Schistosoma mansoni in vivo. To enhance our understanding of the potential
