Trypanothione reductase (TR) is a flavoenzyme unique to trypanosomatid parasites and a target for lead discovery programs. Various inhibitor scaffolds have emerged in the past, exhibiting moderate aff
Pan-dengue virus detection by PCR for travelers returning from the tropics (Publications)
We performed dengue virus (DENV) serology and quantitative real-time pan-DENV reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) on 186 sera of 171 patients returning from the tropics. DENV loads significantly decrea
<em>Plasmodium</em> sensitivity to artemisinins: magic bullets hit elusive targets (Publications)
Artemisinins are efficacious antimalarial drugs widely employed as first-line treatment in endemic countries under the form of combined therapies. Different molecular modes of action have been postula
Multiplex real-time PCR for the diagnosis of malaria: correlation with microscopy (Publications)
Clin Microbiol Infect Abstract Malaria is generally diagnosed by microscopy and rapid antigen testing. Molecular methods become more widely used. In the present study, the contribution of a quantitati
