Isothermal microcalorimetry, a new tool to monitor drug action against <em>Trypanosoma brucei</em> and <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> (Publications)
the toolbox for drug discovery for protozoal diseases such as human African trypanosomiasis and malaria. The method could probably be adapted to other protozoan parasites, especially those growing ext
Heterogeneous distribution of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> drug resistance haplotypes in subsets of the host population (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The emergence of drug resistance is a major problem in malaria control. For mathematical modelling of the transmission and spread of drug resistance the determinant parameters need to be identified
Inclusion of health in impact assessment: a review of current practice in sub-Saharan Africa (Publications)
health determinants and included health outcomes were often limited to a few aspects, such as HIV, malaria and injuries. The miniscule yield of reports (1.6% of contacted projects) and the low response rate
Enrichment of a single clone from a high diversity library of phage-displayed antibodies by panning with<em> Anopheles gambiae </em>(Diptera:... (Publications)
suggest that the selection of sufficiently diverse antibody panels, from which mosquitocidal or malaria transmission-blocking antibodies can be isolated, may require improved selection methods or specifically
3D imaging of undissected optically cleared <em>Anopheles stephensi </em>mosquitoes and midguts infected with <em>Plasmodium</em> parasites (Publications)
Malaria is a life-threatening disease, caused by Apicomplexan parasites of the Plasmodium genus. The Anopheles mosquito is necessary for the sexual replication of these parasites and for their transmission
An efficient system to generate monoclonal antibodies against membrane-associated proteins by immunisation with antigen-expressing mammalian cells (Publications)
present study, we applied this approach successfully for three predicted GPI-anchored proteins of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. CONCLUSIONS: The described entirely cell-based technology is a fast
<em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> centromeres display a unique epigenetic makeup and cluster prior to and during schizogony (Publications)
organisms. The centromeres of Plasmodium falciparum, the causative agent of the most severe form of malaria have been broadly mapped on most chromosomes, but their epigenetic composition remained undefined
<em>Plasmodium berghei </em>subunit vaccine: repeat synthetic peptide of circumsporozoite protein comprising T- and B-cell epitopes fails to confer... (Publications)
In the murine malaria model induced by Plasmodium berghei, we studied the immunogenicity of the repeat region of the circumsporozoite (CS) protein, which is the main target of the antibody response in
New acyl derivatives of 3-aminofurazanes and their antiplasmodial activities (Publications)
An N-acylated furazan-3-amine of a Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV) project has shown activity against different strains of Plasmodium falciparum. Seventeen new derivatives were prepared and tested
