Risk factors and spatial patterns of hookworm infection among schoolchildren in a rural area of western Côte d'Ivoire (Publications)
This study is aimed at investigating the risk factors for hookworm infection among schoolchildren in a rural area of western Cote d'Ivoire and predicting and mapping the spatial distribution of infect
Total serum IgE levels are associated with ambient ozone concentration in asthmatic adults (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Effects of air pollution exposure on IgE-mediated response in asthmatics are poorly investigated. The aim was to examine the relationship between air pollution concentrations and total IgE
Etiology of anemia among infants, school-aged children, and young non-pregnant women in different settings of south-central Côte d'Ivoire (Publications)
Anemia affects one-quarter of the world's population, but its etiology remains poorly understood. We determined the prevalence of anemia and studied underlying risk factors in infants (6-23 months), y
Cytotoxic and haemolytic steroidal glycosides from the Caribbean sponge <em>Pandaros acanthifolium</em> (Publications)
Six new steroidal saponins, pandarosides K-M (1-3) and their methyl esters (4-6), were isolated as minor components, after a careful chemical reinvestigation of the Caribbean sponge Pandaros acanthifo
Quantitative assessment of eosinophiluria in <em>Schistosoma haematobium</em> infections: a new marker of infection and bladder morbidity (Publications)
Eosinophiluria, as quantified by measuring eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) in urinary extracts, microhematuria, egg excretion, and ultrasound-detectable bladder pathology were recorded in Schistosom
Monitoring of heavy metal concentrations in home outdoor air using moss bags (Publications)
One monitoring station is insufficient to characterize the high spatial variation of traffic-related heavy metals within cities. We tested moss bags (Hylocomium splendens), deployed in a dense network
