Interventions that effectively target <em>Anopheles funestus</em> mosquitoes could significantly improve control of persistent malaria transmission in... (Publications)
Malaria is transmitted by many Anopheles species whose proportionate contributions vary across settings. We re-assessed the roles of Anopheles arabiensis and Anopheles funestus, and examined potential
Isolation and characterization of an alpha 2-type zebrafish glycine receptor subunit (Publications)
The complementary DNA for a novel alpha subunit of the glycine receptor, alphaZ2, was isolated from a zebrafish adult brain library. The molecular characteristics, phylogenetic relationships and messe
Prevalence of atopy and pollinosis in the adult population of Switzerland (SAPALDIA study) (Publications)
The Swiss SAPALDIA study is a large multicenter cross-sectional study initiated in 1991 to evaluate the relationship between environment and respiratory symptoms and diseases in adults, and included s
Short-term variation in air pollution and in average lung function among never-smokers. The Swiss Study on Air Pollution and Lung Diseases in Adults... (Publications)
The present analysis was directed at investigating associations between short-term variations in air pollutant levels (NO2, total suspended particulates TSP, O3) and cross-sectional lung function (FVC
The year of the lung: outdoor air pollution and lung health (Publications)
With reference to the Year of the Lung, current knowledge of the respiratory effects of current ambient air pollution is reviewed. Acute respiratory effects are well established. Studies such as SAPAL
Associations between lung function and estimated average exposure to NO2 in eight areas of Switzerland (Publications)
In this paper, we present results from the SAPALDIA study (Swiss Study on Air Pollution and Lung Diseases in Adults) regarding associations between lung function [forced vital capacity (FVC) and force
