Kinetic characterization of squalene synthase from<em> Trypanosoma cruzi:</em> selective inhibition by quinuclidine derivatives (Publications)
The biosynthesis of sterols is a major route for the development of antitrypanosomals. Squalene synthase (SQS) catalyzes the first step committed to the biosynthesis of sterols within the isoprenoid p
European 1: a globally important clonal complex of <em>Mycobacterium bovis</em> (Publications)
We have identified a globally important clonal complex of Mycobacterium bovis by deletion analysis of over one thousand strains from over 30 countries. We initially show that over 99% of the strains o
High collection efficiency electrostatic precipitator for in vitro cell exposure to concentrated ambient particulate matter (PM) (Publications)
A new sampling system, the in vitro electrostatic collector, was developed to collect ambient particles for in vitro studies. The system consists of two units: first, particles are concentrated by mea
Electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) and subjective health complaints associated with electromagnetic fields of mobile phone communication--a... (Publications)
Literature published between 2000 to 2004 concerning electromagnetic fields (EMF) of mobile communication and electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) or unspecific symptoms of ill health, respectively,
Parasiten als Ursache von Urtikaria: Helminthen und Protozooen als Auslöser der Nesselsucht? (Publications)
Urticaria is one of the most prevalent disorders in dermatological practice. The disease can be incapacitating. There are clear pathophysiological and epidemiological hints that helminths and protozoa
Contiguous spread of <em>Mycobacterium ulceran</em>s in Buruli ulcer lesions analysed by histopathology and real-time PCR quantification of... (Publications)
The distribution of M. ulcerans in Buruli ulcer lesions was analysed by IS2404 real-time PCR quantification of M. ulcerans DNA and by semi-quantitative microscopic assessment of the number of acid-fas
Multiple parasite infections and their relationship to self-reported morbidity in a community of rural Côte d'Ivoire (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Concomitant parasitic infections are common in the developing world, yet most studies focus on a single parasite in a narrow age group. We investigated the extent of polyparasitism and par
