Rise in malaria incidence rates in South Africa: a small-area spatial analysis of variation in time trends (Publications)
Using Bayesian statistical models, the authors investigated spatial and temporal variations in small-area malaria incidence rates for the period mid-1986 to mid-1999 for two districts in northern KwaZ
Genetic association with response to intravitreal ranibizumab in patients with neovascular AMD (Publications)
Purpose. Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (AMD) resulting in decreased central vision severely impairs affected individuals. Current standard treatment is an intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy
Use of diagnostic microarrays for determination of virulence gene patterns of <em>Escherichia coli</em> K1, a major cause of neonatal meningitis (Publications)
Forty Escherichia coli strains isolated primarily from neonatal meningitis, urinary tract infections and feces were screened for the presence of virulence genes with a newly developed microarray on th
Activity of OZ78 analogues against <em>Fasciola hepatica</em> and <em>Echinostoma caproni</em> (Publications)
The rapid spread of triclabendazole resistance in veterinary medicine is an important motivation for fasciocidal drug discovery and development. The aim of this study was to characterize the fasciocid
Evaluation of <em>Plasmodium vivax</em> genotyping markers for molecular monitoring in clinical trials (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Many antimalarial interventions are accompanied by molecular monitoring of parasite infections, and a number of molecular typing techniques based on different polymorphic marker genes are
Higher pulmonary artery pressure in children than in adults upon fast ascent to high altitude (Publications)
The response of pulmonary artery pressure to high altitude has not been studied in children. It is also not known whether the individual response is hereditary. Therefore, the response of pulmonary ar
Effect of agricultural activities on prevalence rates, and clinical and presumptive malaria episodes in central Côte d'Ivoire (Publications)
Agricultural activities, among other factors, can influence the transmission of malaria. In two villages of central Cote d'Ivoire (Tiemelekro and Zatta) with distinctively different agro-ecological ch
