Epidemiological links between malaria parasitaemia and hypertension: findings from a population-based survey in rural Côte d'Ivoire (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Although potential links between malaria parasitaemia and hypertension have been hypothesized, there is paucity of epidemiologic evidence on this link. We investigated in a population-base

Immuno-gold silver staining assays on capillary-driven microfluidics for the detection of malaria antigens (Publications)
Accurate and affordable rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are indispensable but often lacking for many infectious diseases. Specifically, there is a lack of highly sensitive malaria RDTs that can detect l
Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of new 1-(Aryl-1<em>H</em>-pyrrolyl)(phenyl)methyl-1<em>H</em>-imidazole derivatives as antiprotozoal... (Publications)
We have designed and synthesized a series of new imidazole-based compounds structurally related to an antiprotozoal agent with nanomolar activity which we identified recently. The new analogs possess
New genetic signals for lung function highlight pathways and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease associations across multiple ancestries (Publications)
Reduced lung function predicts mortality and is key to the diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In a genome-wide association study in 400,102 individuals of European ancestry, we
Detection of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> infected <em>Anopheles gambiae</em> using near‑infrared spectroscopy (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Large-scale surveillance of mosquito populations is crucial to assess the intensity of vector-borne disease transmission and the impact of control interventions. However, there is a lack o
Hitzeaktionspläne zur Prävention von hitzebedingten Todesfällen – Erfahrungen aus der Schweiz (Publications)
Since the record-breaking temperatures registered during summer 2003, cantonal health authorities in Switzerland have implemented measures to prevent adverse health effects from hot weather and heatwa
The good, the bad and the ugly: framing debates on nature in a One Health community (Publications)
Originating in medical and veterinary spheres, the One Health concept stands as an open call for collaboration also between these disciplines or professions and those of environmental and social scien
Rating early child development outcome measurement tools for routine health programme use (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Identification of children at risk of developmental delay and/or impairment requires valid measurement of early child development (ECD). We systematically assess ECD measurement tools for
