Associations between home- and family-related factors and fruit juice and soft drink intake among 10- to 12-year old children: the ENERGY project (Publications)
The aim of this study is to investigate associations of family-related factors with children's fruit drink/juice and soft drink consumption. A cross-sectional survey among ten- to twelve-year-old chil
Genomic distribution and functional characterisation of two distinct and conserved <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> var gene 5' flanking sequences (Publications)
Approximately 50 highly diverse var genes distributed throughout the haploid genome of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum code for PfEMP1 variants located on the surface of infected erythrocyt
In vitro antiplasmodial activity and cytotoxicity of ethnobotanically selected Ivorian plants (Publications)
Eight extracts from four Ivorian medicinal plants, traditionally used to treat malaria, were tested for their antiplasmodial activity in vitro by assessing their ability to inhibit the uptake of [3H]h
Evaluation of methods for modeling transcription factor sequence specificity (Publications)
Genomic analyses often involve scanning for potential transcription factor (TF) binding sites using models of the sequence specificity of DNA binding proteins. Many approaches have been developed to m
Prophylactic immunisation against traveller's diarrhoea caused by enterotoxin-forming strains of <em>Escherichia coli</em> and against cholera: does... (Publications)
Traveller's diarrhoea (TD) constitutes the most common disease relevant to travel medicine with ETEC as the leading causative pathogen. Cholera is the most serious, but very rare form of TD. ETEC and
Bayesian geostatistical modelling for mapping schistosomiasis transmission (Publications)
Progress has been made in mapping and predicting the risk of schistosomiasis using Bayesian geostatistical inference. Applications primarily focused on risk profiling of prevalence rather than infecti
