Pyrethroid and etofenprox resistance in <em>Anopheles gambiae </em>and <em>Anopheles coluzzii </em>from vegetable farms in Yaounde, Cameroon:... (Publications)
Previous studies have indicated widespread insecticide resistance in malaria vector populations from Cameroon. However, the intensity of this resistance and underlying mechanisms are poorly known. Therefore
Joziknipholones A and B: the first dimeric phenylanthraquinones from the roots of <em>Bulbine frutescens</em> (Publications)
M-configured. Joziknipholones A and B are active against the chloroquine resistant strain K1 of the malaria pathogen, Plasmodium falciparum, and show moderate activity against murine leukemic lymphoma L5178y
Strategies for conducting <em>Anopheles stephensi </em>surveys in non-endemic areas (Publications)
Anopheles stephensi, a malaria vector species previously only known from Asia, was first detected in Africa in Djibouti in 2012, has been subsequently collected in Ethiopia, Sudan, and Somalia, and may
Cytochrome P450-mediated metabolism and CYP Inhibition for the synthetic peroxide antimalarial OZ439 (Publications)
OZ439 is a potent synthetic ozonide evaluated for the treatment of uncomplicated malaria. The metabolite profile of OZ439 was characterized in vitro using human liver microsomes combined with LC/MS-MS
Diaryl sulfide-based inhibitors of trypanothione reductase: inhibition potency, revised binding mode and antiprotozoal activities (Publications)
the low micromolar to submicromolar range against Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense as well as the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum
Evidence that <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> chromosome end clusters are cross-linked by protein and are the sites of both virulence gene silencing... (Publications)
The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum undergoes antigenic variation through allelic exclusion and variant expression of surface proteins encoded by the var gene family. Regulation of var genes is
Inhibitors of adenosine consuming parasites through polymer-assisted solution phase synthesis of lipophilic 5'-amido-5'-deoxyadenosine... (Publications)
structurally diverse starting points for the development of chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of malaria are urgently needed. Thus, a series of 20 adenosine derivatives with a large lipophilic substituent

Optimization of 4-aminoquinoline/clotrimazole-based hybrid antimalarials: further structure-activity relationships, in vivo studies, and preliminary... (Publications)
Despite recent progress in the fight against malaria, the emergence and spread of drug-resistant parasites remains a serious obstacle to the treatment of infections. We recently reported the development
Ultrasonography of gallbladder abnormalities due to schistosomiasis (Publications)
After malaria, schistosomiasis remains the most important tropical parasitic disease in large parts of the world. Schistosomiasis has recently re-emerged in Southern Europe. Intestinal schistosomiasis
