Comparative genomics reveals multiple genetic backgrounds of human pathogenicity in the <em>Trypanosoma brucei</em> complex (Publications)
The Trypanosoma brucei complex contains a number of subspecies with exceptionally variable life histories, including zoonotic subspecies, which are causative agents of human African trypanosomiasis (H
Inhibitory activity of marine sponge-derived natural products against parasitic protozoa (Publications)

Uptake of guidelines on prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV in rural Tanzania: time for change (Publications)
Guidelines on prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT) of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are inconsistently implemented in low-income countries. Strategies are needed to improve the upta
Feeding behaviour of tsetse flies infected with <em>salivarian trypanosomes</em> (Publications)
Although much is known about factors which determine infection rates of salivarian trypanosomes (subgenera Nannomonas, Duttonella and Tryanozoon) in the tsetse fly Glossina, it is not clear why infect
Power spectra for screening parkinsonian patients for mild cognitive impairment (Publications)
OBJECTIVE: Mild cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease (PD-MCI) is diagnosed based on the results of a standardized set of cognitive tests. We investigate whether quantitative EEG (qEEG) measures
Nitrogen dioxide and mortality: review and meta-analysis of long-term studies (Publications)
Exposure to ambient nitrogen dioxide (NO2) has been linked to increased mortality in several epidemiological studies but the question remains of whether NO2 is directly responsible for the health effe
Morphometric comparison of the midgut epithelial cells in male and female <em>Aedes aegypti</em> L. (Insecta, Diptera) (Publications)
Midgut epithelial cells of male and female Aedes aegypti, 3 days after emergence, were compared morphometrically. The results of the present investigation concerning the female, are in good agreement
Acceptance of standardized ultrasound classification, use of albendazole, and long-term follow-up in clinical management of cystic echinococcosis: a... (Publications)
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Cystic echinococcosis is a chronic, complex, and neglected disease. The need for a simple classification of cyst morphology that would provide an accepted framework for scientific a
Consequences of genomic diversity in <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> (Publications)
The causative agent of human tuberculosis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC), comprises seven phylogenetically distinct lineages associated with different geographical regions. Here we review
