BACKGROUND: The type of sprayable surface impacts on residual efficacy of insecticide used in indoor residual spraying (IRS). However, there is limited data on common types of wall surfaces sprayed in
Differences in affinity of monoclonal and naturally acquired polyclonal antibodies against <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> merozoite antigens (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Malaria is a major global cause of deaths and a vaccine is urgently needed. RESULTS: We have employed the P. falciparum merozoite antigens MSP2-3D7/FC27 and AMA1, used them in ELISA, and c
Modified mosquito landing boxes dispensing transfluthrin provide effective protection against <em>Anopheles arabiensis</em> mosquitoes under simulated... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Efforts to control malaria vectors have primarily focused on scaling-up of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying. Although highly efficient against indoor-bit
Maturation and mip-1beta production of cytomegalovirus-specific T cell responses in Tanzanian children, adolescents and adults: impact by HIV and... (Publications)
It is well accepted that aging and HIV infection are associated with quantitative and functional changes of CMV-specific T cell responses. We studied here the expression of Mip-1beta and the T cell ma
Association between advanced glycation end products and impaired fasting glucose: results from the SALIA study (Publications)
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) may contribute to the development of type 2 diabetes and related complications, whereas their role in the early deterioration of glycaemia is unknown. While prev
Repurposing of anticancer drugs: <em>in vitro</em> and<em> in vivo</em> activities against <em>Schistosoma mansoni</em> (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Drug discovery for the neglected tropical disease schistosomiasis has a high priority. Anticancer drugs, especially protein kinase inhibitors, might serve as a starting point for drug disc
