Tegumental alterations in juvenile <em>Schistosoma haematobium</em> harboured in hamsters following artemether treatment (Publications)
We report the findings of a detailed temporal study on tegumental alterations in juvenile Schistosoma haematobium, induced by artemether, using scanning electron microscopy. Hamsters infected with S.
Effect of praziquantel together with artemether on <em>Schistosoma japonicum </em>parasites of different ages in rabbits (Publications)
The efficacy of combined treatment with praziquantel and artemether against infection with Schistosoma japonicum was tested on infected rabbits, in which 7-to 14-day-old schistosomules and 42-day-old
Effect of artemether administered alone or in combination with praziquantel to mice infected with <em>Plasmodium berghei </em>or <em>Schistosoma... (Publications)
The artemisinins have become key drugs for the treatment and control of malaria, particularly within artemisinin-based combination therapies. Since the artemisinins also exhibit antischistosomal prope
Improved detection of <em>Rhodococcus coprophilus</em> with a new quantitative PCR assay (Publications)
Agricultural practices, such as spreading liquid manure or the utilisation of land as animal pastures, can result in faecal contamination of water resources. Rhodococcus coprophilus is used in microbi
Advances with the Chinese anthelminthic drug tribendimidine in clinical trials and laboratory investigations (Publications)
The anthelminthic drug tribendimidine has been approved by Chinese authorities for human use in 2004, and a first comprehensive review was published in Acta Tropica in 2005. Here, we summarise further
Evaluation and quality control of personal nephelometers in indoor, outdoor and personal environments (Publications)
Personal nephelometers provide useful real-time measurements of airborne particulate matter (PM). Recent studies have applied this tool to assess personal exposures and related health effects. However
Selection and reversal of <em>Plasmodium berghei</em> resistance in the mouse model following repeated high doses of artemether (Publications)
Artemether, a derivative of artemisinin, is effectively used for the treatment of malaria without any clinically relevant resistance to date. Artemether has also been developed as an antischistosomal
