How urban characteristics affect vulnerability to heat and cold: a multi-country analysis (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The health burden associated with temperature is expected to increase due to a warming climate. Populations living in cities are likely to be particularly at risk, but the role of urban ch
Antagonistic effects of <em>Plasmodium</em>-helminth co-infections on malaria pathology in different population groups in Côte d'Ivoire (Publications)
INTRODUCTION: Plasmodium spp. and helminths are co-endemic in many parts of the tropics; hence, co-infection is a common phenomenon. Interactions between Plasmodium and helminth infections may alter t

Since 2008, several outbreaks of yellow fever and dengue occurred in Abidjan, the economic capital of Cote d'Ivoire. A better knowledge of the biology of Aedes aegypti populations, the main vector of
Brain and salivary gland tumors and mobile phone use: evaluating the evidence from various epidemiological study designs (Publications)
Mobile phones (MPs) are the most relevant source of radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) exposure to the brain and the salivary gland. Whether this exposure implies a cancer risk has been add
Daily variation of heavy metal contamination and its potential sources along the major urban wastewater channel in Kampala, Uganda (Publications)
Heavy metal pollution from untreated industrial wastewater has become a major concern to the environment and public health in many rapidly growing cities in low-income countries. Previous studies on h
Elusive cranial lesions severely afflicting young endangered Patagonian huemul deer (Publications)
OBJECTIVES: Most subpopulations of endangered huemul deer (Hippocamelus bisulcus) fail to recover, frequently due to osteopathology. Equivalent pathology was detected only postmortem in an additional
Estimation of daily PM10 and PM2.5 concentrations in Italy, 2013-2015, using a spatiotemporal land-use random-forest model (Publications)
Particulate matter (PM) air pollution is one of the major causes of death worldwide, with demonstrated adverse effects from both short-term and long-term exposure. Most of the epidemiological studies
