<em>Strongyloides stercoralis</em> is associated with significant morbidity in rural Cambodia, including stunting in children (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Strongyloides stercoralis is a soil-transmitted nematode that can replicate within its host, leading to long-lasting and potentially fatal infections. It is ubiquitous and highly prevalent
Very high carriage of gametocytes in asymptomatic low-density <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> and <em>P. vivax</em> infections in western Thailand (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Low-density asymptomatic infections of Plasmodium spp. are common in low endemicity areas worldwide, but outside Africa, their contribution to malaria transmission is poorly understood. Co
Jozilebomines A and B, naphthylisoquinoline dimers from the Congolese liana <em>Ancistrocladus ileboensis</em>, with antiausterity activities against... (Publications)
Two new naphthylisoquinoline dimers, jozilebomines A (1a) and B (1b), were isolated from the roots of the Congolese plant Ancistrocladus ileboensis, along with the known dimer jozimine A2 (2). These c
Long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and incidence of postmenopausal breast cancer in 15 European cohorts within the ESCAPE project (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Epidemiological evidence on the association between ambient air pollution and breast cancer risk is inconsistent. OBJECTIVE: We examined the association between long-term exposure to ambie
The nature and evolution of genomic diversity in the <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> complex (Publications)
The Mycobacterium tuberculosis Complex (MTBC) consists of a clonal group of several mycobacterial lineages pathogenic to a range of different mammalian hosts. In this chapter, we discuss the origins a
Repellents and new "spaces of concern" in global health (Publications)
Today, malaria prevention hinges upon two domestic interventions: insecticide-treated bed nets and indoor residual spraying. As mosquitoes grow resistant to these tools, however, novel approaches to v
Mixed Th1 and Th2 <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em>-specific CD4 T cell responses in patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis from Tanzania (Publications)
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and helminth infections elicit antagonistic immune effector functions and are co-endemic in several regions of the world. We therefore hypothesized that helminth infec
