Multiple-strain infections of <em>Trypanosoma brucei</em> across Africa (Publications)
It is becoming increasingly clear that parasitic infections frequently contain multiple strains of the same parasite species. This may have important consequences for the parasite dynamics in the host
A geographic information and remote sensing based model for prediction of <em>Oncomelania hupensis </em>habitats<em> </em>in the Poyang Lake area,... (Publications)
A model was developed using remote sensing and geographic information system technologies for habitat identification of Oncomelania hupensis, the intermediate host snail of Schistosoma japonicum, in t
Lack of association between neuropeptide S receptor 1 gene (NPSR1) and eczema in five European populations (Publications)
Eczema is often associated with development of allergic asthma. The Neuropeptide S Receptor 1 (NPSR1) gene has previously been associated with asthma and elevated serum IgE levels. The aim of this stu
Analysis of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> infections in a village community in Northern Nigeria: determination of msp2 genotypes and parasitespecific... (Publications)
The genetic diversity of P. falciparum and multiplicity of infection has been studied in a village in Northern Nigeria at the end of the rainy season, when transmission is high. We analysed blood samp
Population-based study on incidence, survival rates, and genetic alterations of low-grade diffuse astrocytomas and oligodendrogliomas (Publications)
We carried out a population-based study on low-grade diffuse gliomas in the Canton of Zurich, Switzerland (population 1.16 million). From 1980 to 1994, 987 astrocytic and oligodendroglial tumors were
