Geostatistical modelling of soil-transmitted helminth infection in Cambodia: do socioeconomic factors improve predictions? (Publications)
Soil-transmitted helminth infections are intimately connected with poverty. Yet, there is a paucity of using socioeconomic proxies in spatially explicit risk profiling. We compiled household-level soc
Perceived illness drives participation in mass deworming campaigns in Laos (Publications)
Multiple helminth infections are very common in communities of southern Laos. Preventive chemotherapy in combination with health education is the mainstay of control. We assessed the knowledge, percep
Sequence and expression of a gene from <em>Theileria annulata</em> coding for a 70-kilodalton heat-shock protein (Publications)
A library consisting of randomly sheared Theileria annulata genomic DNA fragments in the vector lambda gt11 was screened with a Drosophila DNA segment containing the coding region of the 70-kDa heat-s
Isolation and functional property of mRNAs coding for human interleukin 2 (Publications)
Interleukin 2 (IL 2) is a lymphokine with specific growth promoting properties for activated T cells. The isolation and purification of specific mRNAs coding for this protein is reported. The analysis
Humoral and cell-mediated immunity to the <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> ring-infected erythrocyte surface antigen in an adult population exposed to... (Publications)
A parasitological and immunological survey was carried out in an area in Papua New Guinea highly endemic for malaria. Two hundred fourteen adult individuals were selected for studies to assess their i
Humoral response to<em> Plasmodium falciparum</em> ring-infected erythrocyte surface antigen in a highly endemic area of Papua New Guinea (Publications)
The prevalence and concentration of antibodies to ring-infected erythrocyte surface antigen (RESA) were measured in blood samples collected during a cross-sectional survey conducted in Papua New Guine
Evidence for limited activation of distinct CD4+ T cell subsets in response to the <em>Plasmodium falciparum </em>circumsporozoite protein in Papua... (Publications)
Both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, as well as antibody, are known to be important in sporozoite immunity. Data from animal studies suggest that cytokines, in particular gamma-interferon and interleukin-6, ar
