Assessment of anti-protozoal activity of plants traditionally used in Ecuador in the treatment of leishmaniasis (Publications)
AIM OF THE STUDY: For the assessment of the in vitro anti-protozoal potential of plants traditionally used in Ecuador in the treatment of leishmaniasis, a combined approach based on interviews with he
Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing <em>Enterobacteriaceae</em> in healthy companion animals living in nursing homes and in the community (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Animals could be reservoirs of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) strains, but epidemiologic data on ESBL-producing bacteria in healthy pets are missing. We determined the prevalence

Combination B is a malaria vaccine that comprises recombinant Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum) blood-stage proteins MSP1, MSP2 and RESA, formulated with the adjuvant Montanide ISA 720. A phase I-
Asexual blood-stage malaria vaccine development: facing the challenges (Publications)
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The aim of this article is to highlight the challenges that researchers face in the development of asexual blood-stage vaccines, and the progress made recently towards achieving the
Sequence and expression of MHC-DPB1 molecules of the new world monkey<em> Aotus nancymaae</em>, a primate model for <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> 2 (Publications)
Aotus nancymaae represents an animal model for the pre-clinical evaluation of blood-stage vaccine candidates against Plasmodium falciparum and Plasmodium vivax. We present here the nucleotide sequence
