IS6<em>110</em>-based global phylogeny of <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> (Publications)
IS6110, a Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex species-specific insertion element, is targeted primarily for DNA fingerprinting of M. tuberculosis strains. The number and chromosomal positions of copies
Malaria transmission dynamics in Niono, Mali: the effect of the irrigation systems (Publications)
The type of water management and drainage system could be a potential reason for variation in malaria transmission in rice cultivation areas. To investigate this we have compared the population dynami
Individual preparedness and mitigation actions for a predicted earthquake in Istanbul (Publications)
This study investigated the process of taking action to mitigate damage and prepare for an earthquake at the individual level. Its specific aim was to identify the factors that promote or inhibit indi
Factors motivating individuals to take precautionary action for an expected earthquake in Istanbul (Publications)
Istanbul is expected to experience an earthquake in the near future, but individuals show limited interest in preparing for it. This study aims to identify the factors associated with taking action to
Prognostic significance of epithelial-mesenchymal and mesenchymal-epithelial transition protein expression in non-small cell lung cancer (Publications)
PURPOSE: In carcinomas, invasive tumor growth is accompanied by desmoplastic stroma reaction and facilitated by epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of cancer cells. We investigated the prognostic
Detection of arsenical drug resistance in <em>Trypanosoma brucei</em> with a simple fluorescence test [Research letters] (Publications)
The resurgence of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), coupled with an increased incidence of drug resistance, is of concern. We report a quick, simple, and sensitive test for identification of parasi
Synthesis and evaluation of beta-carbolinium cations as new antimalarial agents based on pi-delocalized lipophilic cation (DLC) hypothesis (Publications)
Several beta-carbolines including naturally occurring substances and their corresponding cationic derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for antimalarial (antiplasmodial) activity in vitro and in
Inhibition of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> fatty acid biosynthesis: evaluation of FabG, FabZ, and FabI as drug targets for flavonoids (Publications)
After the discovery of a potent natural flavonoid glucoside as a potent inhibitor of FabI, a large flavonoid library was screened against three important enzymes (i.e., FabG, FabZ, and FabI) involved
