Safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of new formulations of the <em>Plasmodium falciparum </em>malaria peptide SPf66 combined with the... (Publications)
SPf66 is a synthetic malaria peptide vaccine, which has been widely tested in combination with aluminium hydroxide (alum) as the adjuvant. Since this formulation is weakly immunogenic, we sought to im
Anaerobic performance in 5- to 7-yr-old children of low birthweight (Publications)
PURPOSE: This study was intended to determine whether anaerobic muscle performance is deficient in 5- to 7-yr-old children of extremely low birthweight (ELBW, 500-999 g) and very low birthweight (VLBW
Clonorchicidal properties of the synthetic trioxolane OZ78 (Publications)
Because the synthetic trioxolane OZ78 is active against the liver fluke Fasciola hepatica, we were motivated to investigate the in vivo and in vitro activity against another liver fluke, namely Clonor
Activity of artemether and OZ78 against triclabendazole-resistant <em>Fasciola hepatica</em> (Publications)
Triclabendazole is the drug of choice against Fasciola hepatica infections in humans and animals. However, parasite resistance against triclabendazole is spreading in the veterinary field, and there a
Consistently high estimates for the proportion of human exposure to malaria vector populations occurring indoors in rural Africa (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) are highly effective tools for controlling malaria transmission in Africa because the most important vectors, from the An
Evaluation of the discriminatory power of variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) typing of <em>Mycobacterium bovis</em> strains (Publications)
The discriminatory power of variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) typing based on 16 known loci (12 MIRUs, 3 ETRs and VNTR 3232) was assessed for Mycobacterium bovis strains collected sequentially at t
