Organellar proteomics reveals hundreds of novel nuclear proteins in the malaria parasite <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The post-genomic era of malaria research provided unprecedented insights into the biology of Plasmodium parasites. Due to the large evolutionary distance to model eukaryotes, however, we l
Field building leadership intiative: advancing ecohealth in southeast Asia - the first year journey (Publications)
The Ecosystem approach to health, or Ecohealth is a useful tool to address health and environmental issues in developing countries, particularly in South East Asia (SEA), where agricultural intensific
Elimination of schistosomiasis transmission in Zanzibar: baseline findings before the onset of a randomized intervention trial (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Gaining and sustaining control of schistosomiasis and, whenever feasible, achieving local elimination are the year 2020 targets set by the World Health Organization. In Zanzibar, various i
Adherence as a predictor of the development of class-specific resistance mutations: the Swiss HIV cohort study (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Non-adherence is one of the strongest predictors of therapeutic failure in HIV-positive patients. Virologic failure with subsequent emergence of resistance reduces future treatment options
A var gene upstream element controls protein synthesis at the level of translation initiation in <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> (Publications)
Clonally variant protein expression in the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum generates phenotypic variability and allows isogenic populations to adapt to environmental changes encountered during
Use of a semi-field system to evaluate the efficacy of topical repellents under user conditions provides a disease exposure free technique comparable... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Before topical repellents can be employed as interventions against arthropod bites, their efficacy must be established. Currently, laboratory or field tests, using human volunteers, are th
