Using <em>Drosophila melanogaster</em> to validate metabolism-based insecticide resistance from insect pests (Publications)
Identifying molecular mechanisms of insecticide resistance is important for preserving insecticide efficacy, developing new insecticides and implementing insect control. The metabolic detoxification o
Prevalence of sarcoidosis in Switzerland is associated with environmental factors (Publications)
The current study aimed to investigate incidence, prevalence and regional distribution of sarcoidosis in Switzerland with respect to environmental exposures. All sarcoidosis patients hospitalised betw
Incidence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in a cohort of young adults according to the presence of chronic cough and phlegm (Publications)
RATIONALE: The few prospective studies aimed at assessing the incidence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in relation to the presence of chronic cough/phlegm have produced contrasting re
Some discrete competition models and the competitive exclusion principle (Publications)
A difference equation model, called that Leslie/Gower model, played a key historical role in laboratory experiments that helped establish the "competitive exclusion principle" in ecology. We show that
Clinical and laboratory predictors of imported malaria in an outpatient setting: an aid to medical decision making in returning travelers with fever (Publications)
No evidence-based information exists to guide clinicians for giving presumptive treatment to returning travelers when malaria is strongly suspected on clinical grounds but laboratory confirmation is n
Rapid microarray-based method for monitoring of all currently known single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with parasite resistance to antimalaria... (Publications)
Parasite drug resistance is partly conferred by single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and monitoring them has been proposed as an alternative to monitoring drug resistance. Therefore, techniques are
Molecular characterization and drug resistance testing of <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> isolates from Chad (Publications)
The molecular characterizations of the first 40 Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates from Chad revealed a high proportion of isolates of the Cameroon family (33%), of which one isolate showed a monodru
