iented approach to the study and optimization of the antigenicity of the protein as a potential malaria vaccine candidate, whilst exploiting the immunopotentiating properties of influenza virosomes as
Analogues of thiolactomycin as potential antimalarial agents (Publications)
fatty acid synthase, were synthesized and evaluated for their ability to inhibit the growth of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Alkylation of the C4 hydroxyl group led to the most significant increase
Antiplasmodial and antitrypanosomal activity of new esters and ethers of 4-dialkylaminobicyclo[2.2.2]octan-2-ols (Publications)
suffer from painful application, severe side effects and increasing resistance against these drugs. Malaria tropica kills more than 2 million people every year mainly due to growing drug resistance. 4-Dia
Genetic analysis of IgG subclass responses against RESA and MSP2 of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> in adults in Papua New Guinea (Publications)
complex than governed by a single major gene. Such host genetic variation in responses to specific malaria antigens has implications for immuno-epidemiology and vaccine development
Genesis of and trafficking to the Maurer's clefts of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em>-infected erythrocytes (Publications)
Malaria parasites export proteins beyond their own plasma membrane to locations in the red blood cells in which they reside. Maurer's clefts are parasite-derived structures within the host cell cytoplasm
Complete structural assignment of serratol, a cembrane-type diterpene from <em>Boswellia serrata</em>, and evaluation of its antiprotozoal activity (Publications)
T. cruzi (Chagas' disease), Leishmania donovani (Kala-Azar), and Plasmodium falciparum (Tropical Malaria). It was found active against T. brucei and P. falciparum. These activities were 10- to 15-fold higher
Estimation of infection and recovery rates for highly polymorphic parasites when detectability is imperfect, using hidden Markov models (Publications)
implemented using Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation. The model is applied to a panel data set of malaria genotype data from a randomized controlled trial of bed nets in Tanzanian children aged 6-30 months
Rapid mapping of schistosomiasis and other neglected tropical diseases in the context of integrated control programmes in Africa (Publications)
lessons from the mapping of human helminth infections may also be relevant for the rapid mapping of malaria as its control efforts are intensified

Mosquito nets and the poor: can social marketing redress inequities in access? (Publications)
Treated mosquito nets are a practical malaria control tool. However, implementation of efficient delivery mechanisms remains a challenge. We investigated whether social marketing of treated mosquito nets
