A sero-epidemiological approach to explore transmission of <em>Mycobacterium ulcerans</em> (Publications)
Ghana were included in the study. While first serological responses to the mosquito transmitted malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum and to soil transmitted Strongyloides helminths emerged around the
Evaluation of <em>in vitro</em> antiprotozoal activity of <em>Ajuga laxmannii </em>and its secondary metabolites (Publications)
Context Some Ajuga L. (Lamiaceae) species are traditionally used for the treatment of malaria, as well as fever, which is a common symptom of many parasitic diseases. Objective In the continuation of our
Diagnosis of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> infection using ParaSight(R)-F test in blood and urine of Papua New Guinean children (Publications)
Rapid, simple, accurate and cheap methods are required for the diagnosis of malaria in endemic areas. The ParaSight(R)-F test, which is based on qualitative detection by monoclonal antibody of the Plasmodium
Perceptions on the effect of small electric fans on comfort inside bed nets in southern Ghana: a qualitative study (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) are known to be highly effective in reducing malaria transmission, morbidity and mortality. However, among those owning an LLIN, use rates are often
A path to cooperation between China and Mongolia towards the control of echinococcosis under the Belt and Road Initiative (Publications)
development goals, especially goal 3, target 3.3: by 2030, end the epidemics of AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and neglected tropical diseases and combat hepatitis, water-borne diseases and other communicable
Strategies for understanding and reducing the <em>Plasmodium vivax</em> and <em>Plasmodium ovale</em> hypnozoite reservoir in Papua New Guinean... (Publications)
undetectable hypnozoite reservoir for relapsing Plasmodium vivax and P. ovale malarias presents a major challenge for malaria control and elimination in endemic countries. This study aims to directly determine
Small-scale field evaluation of PermaNet® Dual (a long-lasting net coated with a mixture of chlorfenapyr and deltamethrin) against... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Due to the rapid expansion of pyrethroid-resistance in malaria vectors in Africa, Global Plan for Insecticide Resistance Management (GPIRM) has recommended the development of long-lasting [...] populations. PermaNet((R)) Dual thus represents a promising tool, with a high potential to reduce malaria transmission and provide community protection in areas compromised by mosquito vector resistance
Influence of sugar availability and indoor microclimate on survival of <em>Anopheles gambiae</em> (Diptera: Culicidae) under semifield conditions in... (Publications)
served to increase survival potential of vectors beyond ages at which they are old enough to transmit malaria
Efficacy and safety of artemether in the treatment of chronic fascioliasis in Egypt: exploratory phase-2 trials (Publications)
20 mg/kg (4 patients; CR: 75%, ERR: 96%). CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE: Artemether, administered at malaria treatment regimens, shows no or only little effect against fascioliasis, and hence does not represent
A microarray-based system for the simultaneous analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms in human genes involved in the metabolism of anti-malarial... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: In order to provide a cost-effective tool to analyse pharmacogenetic markers in malaria treatment, DNA microarray technology was compared with sequencing of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
