Intersectoral collaboration between the medical and veterinary professions in low-resource societies: the role of research and training institutions (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Neglected zoonoses continue to significantly affect human health in low-resource countries. A symposium was organised in Antwerp, Belgium, on 5 November 2010 to evaluate how intersectoral
Mathematical modelling of mosquito dispersal in a heterogeneous environment (Publications)
Mosquito dispersal is a key behavioural factor that affects the persistence and resurgence of several vector-borne diseases. Spatial heterogeneity of mosquito resources, such as hosts and breeding sit
Helminth infections of the central nervous system occurring in Southeast Asia and the Far East (Publications)
Although helminth infections of the central nervous system (CNS) are rare, their public health implications must not be neglected. Indeed, several helminth species can cause cerebrospinal infections,
Identification of an <em>Onchocerca volvulus</em> cDNA encoding a low-molecular-weight antigen uniquely recognized by onchocerciasis patient sera (Publications)
The primary structure of an immunodominant antigen of the filarial parasite, Onchocerca volvulus was deduced from cDNA sequence analysis. Using affinity-purified antibody from onchocerciasis patients
A high-performance liquid chromatography and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy-based analysis of commercially available praziquantel tablets (Publications)
The amount of active ingredient in 20 commercially sourced batches of praziquantel (PZQ) tablets was determined using a high-performance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet (HPLC-UV) assay in conjunctio
Improving malaria home treatment by training drug retailers in rural Kenya (Publications)
Recent global malaria control initiatives highlight the potential role of drug retailers to improve access to early effective malaria treatment. We report on the findings and discuss the implications
