Identification of <em>T. brucei</em>-subgroup strains isolated from game (Publications)
Several T. brucei-subgroup strains isolated from game were investigated with the blood incubation infectivity test (BIIT) and in human volunteers. Original isolates and their clones derivatives were t
Influences of blood digestion on the development of <em>Plasmodium gallinaceum</em> (Brumpt) in the midgut of <em>Aedes aegypti</em> (L.) (Publications)
Blood digestion of Aedes aegypti and development of Plasmodium gallinaceum were shifted against each other by giving the mosquitoes two consecutive blood meals. In this way the parasites were exposed
Bayesian risk mapping and model-based estimation of <em>Schistosoma haematobium </em>- <em>Schistosoma mansoni</em> co-distribution in Côte... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Schistosoma haematobium and Schistosoma mansoni are blood flukes that cause urogenital and intestinal schistosomiasis, respectively. In Cote d'Ivoire, both species are endemic and control
Distribution and attachment of <em>Trypanosoma (Nannomonas) congolense</em> in the proximal part of the proboscis of<em> Glossina morsitans... (Publications)
The distribution and attachment of Trypanosoma congolense were investigated in the proximal part of the proboscis of Glossina m. morsitans. In the food canal, epimastigotes and trypomastigotes formed
A methodological framework for the improved use of routine health system data to evaluate national malaria control programs: evidence from Zambia (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Due to challenges in laboratory confirmation, reporting completeness, timeliness, and health access, routine incidence data from health management information systems (HMIS) have rarely be
Studies on antigenic variation of cyclically transmitted <em>Trypanosoma congolense</em> (Publications)
Antigenic variants of T. congolense transmitted by G. m. morsitans through normal and X-irradiated mice were investigated by means of the neutralization test and IFAT. Clones of a cyclically passaged
KvarQ: targeted and direct variant calling from fastq reads of bacterial genomes (Publications)
BACKGROUND: High-throughput DNA sequencing produces vast amounts of data, with millions of short reads that usually have to be mapped to a reference genome or newly assembled. Both reference-based map
