Molecular genotyping in a malaria treatment trial in Uganda - unexpected high rate of new infections within 2 weeks after treatment (Publications)
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) genotyping of malaria parasites in drug efficacy trials helps differentiate reinfections from recrudescences. A combination therapy trial of one (n = 115) or three (n =
Complement factor D, albumin, and immunoglobulin G anti-band 3 protein antibodies mimic serum in promoting rosetting of malaria-infected red blood... (Publications)
Rosetting of Plasmodium falciparum-infected red blood cells (parasitized RBC [pRBC]) with uninfected RBC has been associated in many studies with malaria morbidity and is one form of cytoadherence obs
Synthesis and testing of 5-benzyl-2,4-diaminopyrimidines as potential inhibitors of leishmanial and trypanosomal dihydrofolate reductase (Publications)
Dihydrofolate reductase is a drug target that has not been thoroughly investigated in leishmania and trypanosomes. Work has previously shown that 5-benzyl-2,4-diaminopyrimidines are selective inhibito
Evidence of HLA class II association with antibody response against the malaria vaccine SPF66 in a naturally exposed population (Publications)
The antibody response against the malaria vaccine SPf66 and against circumsporozoite (CS) protein has been tested in immune adults from a malaria endemic area in Papua New Guinea. All individuals were
Low efficacy of amodiaquine or chloroquine plus sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine against <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> and <em>P. vivax malaria</em> in... (Publications)
Because of increasing resistance to 4-aminoquinolines in Papua New Guinea, combination therapy of amodiaquine (AQ) or chloroquine (CQ) plus sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) was introduced as first-line
