Antischistosomal activities of mefloquine-related arylmethanols (Publications)
Interesting antischistosomal properties have been documented for the antimalarial mefloquine, a 4-quinolinemethanol. We evaluated the antischistosomal activities of nine mefloquine related compounds,
Feeding and survival of the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae on plants growing in Kenya (Publications)
The propensity of the malaria vector mosquito Anopheles gambiae Giles (Diptera: Culicidae) to ingest sugars from various plants, and subsequent survival rates, were assessed with laboratory-reared mal
Decreased PM10 exposure attenuates age-related lung function decline: genetic variants in p53, p21, and CCND1 modify this effect (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Decreasing exposure to airborne particulates was previously associated with reduced age-related decline in lung function. However, whether the benefit from improved air quality depends on
Regional distribution of glycine receptor messenger RNA in the central nervous system of zebrafish (Publications)
We report the cloning of the zebrafish beta subunit of the glycine receptor and compare the anatomical distribution of three glycine receptor subunit constituents in adult zebrafish brain (alphaZ1, al
A single LC-tandem mass spectrometry method for the simultaneous determination of 14 antimalarial drugs and their metabolites in human plasma (Publications)
Among the various determinants of treatment response, the achievement of sufficient blood levels is essential for curing malaria. For helping us at improving our current understanding of antimalarial
Inhibitors of adenosine consuming parasites through polymer-assisted solution phase synthesis of lipophilic 5'-amido-5'-deoxyadenosine... (Publications)
Given the more or less global spread of multidrug-resistant plasmodia, structurally diverse starting points for the development of chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of malaria are urgently nee
Effect of environmental tobacco smoke exposure on respiratory symptoms in children (Publications)
AIMS: This study determines the prevalence of exposure to environmental tobacco smoke and its relation to respiratory and allergic symptoms among schoolchildren in Switzerland. METHODS: We studied 447
Comparison of analytical methods for the evaluation of antibody responses against epitopes of polymorphic protein antigens (Publications)
Surface exposed protein antigens of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum frequently harbor multiple dimorphic amino acid positions. These are associated with parasite immune evasion and represen
