Infection biology and epidemiology = Infektionsbiologie und Epidemiologie [CD-ROM] (Publications)
This learning programme accompanies the block course of the same name offered by the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute to third-year students taking the BSc degree in biology at the Universit
Rapid and non-destructive detection and identification of two strains of <em>Wolbachia</em> in <em>Aedes aegypti</em> by near-infrared spectroscopy (Publications)
The release of Wolbachia infected mosquitoes is likely to form a key component of disease control strategies in the near future. We investigated the potential of using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS
Tod am Kilombero : Tanners Kampf gegen Malaria [TV Broadcast] (Publications)
"Alle 30 Sekunden stirbt in Afrika ein Kind an Malaria, weltweit sind es Jahr für Jahr bis zu drei Millionen Menschen. Der Kampf gegen den grössten Killer der dritten Welt scheint aussichtslos. Und do
New fluorescence markers to distinguish co-infecting <em>Trypanosoma brucei</em> strains in experimental multiple infections (Publications)
Multiple-genotype infections are increasingly recognized as important factors in disease evolution, parasite transmission dynamics, and the evolution of drug resistance. However, the distinction of co
Lack of association between neuropeptide S receptor 1 gene (NPSR1) and eczema in five European populations (Publications)
Eczema is often associated with development of allergic asthma. The Neuropeptide S Receptor 1 (NPSR1) gene has previously been associated with asthma and elevated serum IgE levels. The aim of this stu
Analysis of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> infections in a village community in Northern Nigeria: determination of msp2 genotypes and parasitespecific... (Publications)
The genetic diversity of P. falciparum and multiplicity of infection has been studied in a village in Northern Nigeria at the end of the rainy season, when transmission is high. We analysed blood samp
Population-based study on incidence, survival rates, and genetic alterations of low-grade diffuse astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas (Publications)
We carried out a population-based study on low-grade diffuse gliomas in the Canton of Zurich, Switzerland (population 1.16 million). From 1980 to 1994, 987 astrocytic and oligodendroglial tumors were
