In vitro antiplasmodial activity and cytotoxicity of ethnobotanically selected Ivorian plants (Publications)
Eight extracts from four Ivorian medicinal plants, traditionally used to treat malaria, were tested for their antiplasmodial activity in vitro by assessing their ability to inhibit the uptake of [3H]h
Prophylactic immunisation against traveller's diarrhoea caused by enterotoxin-forming strains of <em>Escherichia coli</em> and against cholera: does... (Publications)
Traveller's diarrhoea (TD) constitutes the most common disease relevant to travel medicine with ETEC as the leading causative pathogen. Cholera is the most serious, but very rare form of TD. ETEC and
Spiroadamantyl 1,2,4-trioxolane, 1,2,4-trioxane, and 1,2,4-trioxepane pairs: relationship between peroxide bond iron(II) reactivity, heme alkylation... (Publications)
These data suggest that iron(II) reactivity for a set of homologous spiroadamantyl 1,2,4-trioxolane, 1,2,4-trioxane, and 1,2,4-trioxepane peroxide heterocycles is a necessary, but insufficient, proper
Exposure to pets, and the association with hay fever, asthma, and atopic sensitization in rural children (Publications)
BACKGROUND: An increasing number of studies report pet exposure to be associated with lower risk of asthma and allergies. This 'protective pet effect' has been suggested to result from a modified T-he
