Synthesis and structure-activity relationships for new 6-fluoroquinoline derivatives with antiplasmodial activity (Publications)
The substitution of 6-fluoroquinolines was modified in ring positions 2 and 4. The new compounds were tested in vitro for their activities against a sensitive and a multidrug resistant strain of Plasm

OBJECTIVE: This secondary analysis of data of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) retrospectively investigated the performance of pulse oximetry in identifying children with severe illnesses, with and
Insufficient sensitivity of laser desorption-time of flight mass spectrometry-based detection of hemozoin for malaria screening (Publications)
Laser desorption-time of flight (LD-TOF) mass spectrometry-based detection of hemozoin was assessed for its performance characteristics as a rapid screening test for malaria. In spite of good specific
Insights into the genetic diversity of <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> in Tanzania (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Human tuberculosis (TB) is caused by seven phylogenetic lineages of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC), Lineage 1-7. Recent advances in rapid genotyping of MTBC based on single
