The ultrastructure of cultured <em>Plasmodium gallinaceum </em>ookinetes: a comparison of intact stages with forms damaged by extracts from blood fed,... (Publications)
The ultrastructure of intact, mature and immature ookinetes of Plasmodium gallinaceum is compared with corresponding stages which have been damaged by Aedes aegypti extracts prepared during blood dige
How effective is integrated vector management against malaria and lymphatic filariasis where the diseases are transmitted by the same vector? (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The opportunity to integrate vector management across multiple vector-borne diseases is particularly plausible for malaria and lymphatic filariasis (LF) control where both diseases are tra
Spatio-temporal distribution of soil-transmitted helminth infections in Brazil (Publications)
BACKGROUND: In Brazil, preventive chemotherapy targeting soil-transmitted helminthiasis is being scaled-up. Hence, spatially explicit estimates of infection risks providing information about the curre
Thermal care for newborn babies in rural southern Tanzania: a mixed-method study of barriers, facilitators and potential for behaviour change (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Hypothermia contributes to neonatal morbidity and mortality in low-income countries, yet little is known about thermal care practices in rural African settings. We assessed adoption and co
Studies on antigenic variation of cyclically transmitted <em>Trypanosoma congolense</em> (Publications)
Antigenic variants of T. congolense transmitted by G. m. morsitans through normal and X-irradiated mice were investigated by means of the neutralization test and IFAT. Clones of a cyclically passaged
Genome and phylogenetic analyses of <em>Trypanosoma evansi</em> reveal extensive similarity to <em>T. brucei </em>and multiple independent origins for... (Publications)
Two key biological features distinguish Trypanosoma evansi from the T. brucei group: independence from the tsetse fly as obligatory vector, and independence from the need for functional mitochondrial
