Antiprotozoal activity of Turkish <em>Origanum onites</em> essential oil and its components (Publications)
Essential oil of Origanum species is well known for antimicrobial activity, but only a few have been evaluated in narrow spectrum antiprotozoal assays. Herein, we assessed the antiprotozoal potential
A “cookbook” for vulnerability research (Publications)
There is a growing need to facilitate the interdisciplinary study of the relationship between the environment and human health and well-being. It is increasingly recognized that vulnerability is a key
Differential impact of malaria control interventions on <em>P. falciparum</em> and <em>P. vivax</em> infections in young Papua New Guinean children (Publications)
INTRODUCTION: As malaria transmission declines, understanding the differential impact of intensified control on Plasmodium falciparum relative to Plasmodium vivax and identifying key drivers of ongoin
Variability and predictors of weekly pesticide exposure in applicators from organic, sustainable and conventional smallholder farms in Costa Rica (Publications)
OBJECTIVE: Estimates of pesticide exposure among applicators from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are scarce, and exposure assessment methods are sometimes costly or logistically unfeasible.
The flipside of eradicating a disease; human African trypanosomiasis in a woman in rural Democratic Republic of Congo: a case report (Publications)
Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) is a neglected disease caused by the protozoan parasites Trypanosoma brucei and transmitted by tsetse flies that progresses in two phases. Symptoms in the first pha
Validation of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> dUTPase as the target of 5'-tritylated deoxyuridine analogues with anti-malarial activity (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Malaria remains as a major global problem, being one of the infectious diseases that engender highest mortality across the world. Due to the appearance of resistance and the lack of an eff
Active dispersal of <em>Aedes albopictus</em>: a mark-release-recapture study using self-marking units (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Understanding the dispersal dynamics of invasive mosquito species is fundamental to improve vector surveillance and to target control efforts. Aedes albopictus has been deemed a poor flyer
