Three different <em>Plasmodium</em> species show similar patterns of clinical tolerance of malaria infection (Publications)
BACKGROUND: In areas where malaria endemicity is high, many people harbour blood stage parasites without acute febrile illness, complicating the estimation of disease burden from infection data. For P
A large cross-sectional community-based study of newborn care practices in southern Tanzania (Publications)
Despite recent improvements in child survival in sub-Saharan Africa, neonatal mortality rates remain largely unchanged. This study aimed to determine the frequency of delivery and newborn-care practic
Molecular surveillance of drug resistance through imported isolates of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> in Europe (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Results from numerous studies point convincingly to correlations between mutations at selected genes and phenotypic resistance to antimalarials in Plasmodium falciparum isolates. In order
Genetic reconstruction of protozoan rRNA decoding sites provides a rationale for paromomycin activity against <em>Leishmania</em> and... (Publications)
Aminoglycoside antibiotics target the ribosomal decoding A-site and are active against a broad spectrum of bacteria. These compounds bind to a highly conserved stem-loop-stem structure in helix 44 of
Tick-borne diseases in Switzerland and climate change (Publications)
Tick-borne diseases are the most common vector-borne diseases in Europe. In Central Europe, the tick Ixodes ricinus is responsible for most tick bites. Next to tick borne encephalitis (TBE or in Germa
Obstacles to prompt and effective malaria treatment lead to low community-coverage in two rural districts of Tanzania (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Malaria is still a leading child killer in sub-Saharan Africa. Yet, access to prompt and effective malaria treatment, a mainstay of any malaria control strategy, is sub-optimal in many set
