Rhabdopeptides as insect-specific virulence factors from entomopathogenic bacteria (Publications)
Six novel linear peptides, named "rhabdopeptides", have been identified in the entomopathogenic bacterium Xenorhabdus nematophila after the discovery of the corresponding rdp gene cluster by using a p

The synthesis of the recently characterized depsipeptide szentiamide (1), which is produced by the entomopathogenic bacterium Xenorhabdus szentirmaii, is described. Whereas no biological activity was
High prevalence of <em>Ancylostoma ceylanicum</em> hookworm infections in humans, Cambodia, 2012 (Publications)
Ancylostoma ceylanicum, a hookworm of canids and felids in Asia, is becoming the second most common hookworm infecting humans. In 2012, we investigated the prevalence and infection dynamics of and ris
Antiprotozoal activities of organic extracts from French marine seaweeds (Publications)
Marine macrophytes contain a variety of biologically active compounds, some reported to have antiprotozoal activity in vitro. As a part of a screening program to search for new natural antiprotozoals,
Hydroxyurea: effect on growth, structure, and [3H]thymidine uptake of <em>Trypanosoma brucei</em> procyclic culture forms (Publications)
Hydroxyurea (HU) in concentrations above 50 micrograms/ml reversibly inhibited cell division of Trypanosoma brucei brucei stock STIB 336 procyclic culture forms, but not growth of individual cells. Th
Relationship between domain-specific physical activity and different body composition measures in a working population (Publications)
