Activities of N,N' -diarylurea MMV665852 analogs against <em>Schistosoma mansoni</em> (Publications)
There is an unmet need to discover and develop novel antischistosomal drugs. As exemplified by MMV665852, N,N'-diarylureas have recently emerged as a promising antischistosomal chemotype. In this stud
Assessing numbers and faces: a prerequisite for improving access to lymphatic filariasis morbidity care (Publications)
Concerted efforts to eliminate lymphatic filariasis worldwide have registered success; multiple rounds of mass drug administration have led to the interruption of transmission in many previously endem
Cost and sensitivity of on-farm versus slaughterhouse surveys for prevalence estimation and substantiating freedom from disease (Publications)
Within the framework of Swiss surveillance for epizootic diseases, dairy cattle are sampled using bulk tank milk while non-dairy cattle are sampled on the farm. The latter method is costly, time-deman
Skin and soft tissue infections in intercontinental travellers and the import of multi-resistant <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em> to Europe (Publications)
Staphylococcus aureus is emerging globally. Treatment of infections is complicated by increasing antibiotic resistance. We collected clinical data and swabs of returnees with skin and soft tissue infe
LUR models for particulate matters in the Taipei metropolis with high densities of roads and strong activities of industry, commerce and construction (Publications)
Traffic intensity, length of road, and proximity to roads are the most common traffic indicators in the land use regression (LUR) models for particulate matter in ESCAPE study areas in Europe. This st
Particulate matter composition and respiratory health: the PIAMA birth cohort study (Publications)
BACKGROUND:: Ambient particulate matter (PM) exposure is associated with children's respiratory health. Little is known about the importance of different PM constituents. We investigated the effects o
Anti-trypanosomal cadinanes synthesized by transannular cyclization of the natural sesquiterpene lactone nobilin (Publications)
Acid-catalyzed transannular cyclization of the germacrene-type sesquiterpene lactone nobilin 1 was investigated with the aim of obtaining new anti-trypanosomal cadinane derivatives. The reaction was r
