The Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) was compared with the Indirect Fluorescent Antibody Test (IFAT), the Indirect Haemagglutination Test (IHA) and Counter Immuno Electrophoresis (CIE) in the
Asymptomatic malaria infections: detectability, transmissibility and public health relevance (Publications)
Most Plasmodium falciparum infections that are detected in community surveys are characterized by low-density parasitaemia and the absence of clinical symptoms. Molecular diagnostics have shown that t
<em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> protein kinase 5 and the malarial nuclear division cycles (Publications)
In the course of our studies on cell cycle regulation mechanisms of Plasmodium falciparum, we investigated expression pattern, kinase activity, and localization of PfPK5, a putative malarial member of
Heterochromatin protein 1 secures survival and transmission of malaria parasites (Publications)
Clonally variant expression of surface antigens allows the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum to evade immune recognition during blood stage infection and secure malaria transmission. We demonstra
Psychiatric disorders, suicidality, and personality among young men by sexual orientation (Publications)
Personality and its potential role in mediating risk of psychiatric disorders and suicidality are assessed by sexual orientation, using data collected among young Swiss men (n=5875) recruited while pr
Sequence and diversity of T-cell receptor alpha <em>V</em>, <em>J</em>, and <em>C</em> genes of the owl monkey <em>Aotus nancymaae</em> (Publications)
We cloned and sequenced TcR alpha chain cDNA of three healthy Aotus nancymaae monkeys. Fifteen different TRAJ segments and 9 different TRAV genes were identified in the 29 rearrangements analyzed. As
Epidemiology of multiple <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> infections. 6. Multiple <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> infections in Tanzanian infants (Publications)
Paired blood samples from 99 Tanzanian infants were analysed to examine the infection dynamics of Plasmodium falciparum during the first year of life. Infecting parasites were genotyped by polymerase
