Local determinants of road traffic noise levels versus determinants of air pollution levels in a Mediterranean city (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Both traffic-related noise and air pollution have been associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Spatial correlations between these environmental stressors may entail mutual confoundin
Antiplasmodial and antitrypanosomal activity of bicyclic amides and esters of dialkylamino acids (Publications)
Several bicyclic amides and esters of dialkylamino acids were prepared. Their activities against a multiresistant strain of Plasmodium falciparum and against Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense (STIB 900)
Age-independent osteopathology in skeletons of a South American cervid: the Patagonian huemul (<em>hippocamelus bisulcus</em>) (Publications)
The huemul (Hippocamelus bisulcus), an endemic Patagonian deer, has been endangered for decades. Although conservation in Argentina has been directed at the 350-600 remaining huemul, the population ha
Evaluation of two long synthetic merozoite surface protein 2 peptides as malaria vaccine candidates (Publications)
Merozoite surface protein 2 (MSP2) is a promising vaccine candidate against Plasmodium falciparum blood stages. A recombinant 3D7 form of MSP2 was a subunit of Combination B, a blood stage vaccine tes
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
