Antiprotozoal, antimycobacterial and cytotoxic potential of some British green algae (Publications)
In the continuation of our search for natural sources for antiprotozoal and antitubercular molecules, we have screened the crude extracts of four green marine algae (Cladophora rupestris, Codium fragi
Rhabdopeptides as insect-specific virulence factors from entomopathogenic bacteria (Publications)
Six novel linear peptides, named "rhabdopeptides", have been identified in the entomopathogenic bacterium Xenorhabdus nematophila after the discovery of the corresponding rdp gene cluster by using a p

The synthesis of the recently characterized depsipeptide szentiamide (1), which is produced by the entomopathogenic bacterium Xenorhabdus szentirmaii, is described. Whereas no biological activity was
High prevalence of <em>Ancylostoma ceylanicum</em> hookworm infections in humans, Cambodia, 2012 (Publications)
Ancylostoma ceylanicum, a hookworm of canids and felids in Asia, is becoming the second most common hookworm infecting humans. In 2012, we investigated the prevalence and infection dynamics of and ris
Antiprotozoal activities of organic extracts from French marine seaweeds (Publications)
Marine macrophytes contain a variety of biologically active compounds, some reported to have antiprotozoal activity in vitro. As a part of a screening program to search for new natural antiprotozoals,
Risk stratification for 1-year mortality in acute heart failure: classification and regression tree analysis (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Simple tools for risk stratification of patients with acute heart failure (AHF) are an unmet clinical need, particularly regarding long-term mortality. METHODS: We prospectively enrolled 6
