Multi-site comparison of factors influencing progress of African insecticide testing facilities towards an international quality management system... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Insecticidal mosquito vector control products are vital components of malaria control programmes. Test facilities are key in assessing the effectiveness of vector control products against local
Prevalence of <em>Schistosoma </em>mono- and co-infections with multiple common parasites and associated risk factors and morbidity profile among... (Publications)
selected individuals, aged 18-90 years, provided blood, stool and urine samples for the diagnosis of malaria and helminth infections. Stool samples were subjected to the Kato-Katz technique for detection of
Differential patterns of infection and disease with <em>P. falciparum</em> and <em>P. vivax</em> in young Papua New Guinean children (Publications)
of P. vivax infection and illness is often concentrated in younger age groups. Experiences from malaria therapy patients indicate that immunity is acquired faster to P. vivax than to P. falciparum challenge
How much remains undetected? Probability of molecular detection of human <em>Plasmodia</em> in the field (Publications)
BACKGROUND: In malaria endemic areas, most people are simultaneously infected with different parasite clones. Detection of individual clones is hampered when their densities fluctuate around the detection
Identification of cryptic <em>Anopheles</em> mosquito species by molecular protein profiling (Publications)
Vector control is the mainstay of malaria control programmes. Successful vector control profoundly relies on accurate information on the target mosquito populations in order to choose the most appropriate
Cloning of the repertoire of individual <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> var genes using Transformation Associated Recombination (TAR) (Publications)
One of the major virulence factors of the malaria causing parasite is the Plasmodium falciparum encoded erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1). It is translocated to It the membrane of infected erythrocytes
Experience of safety monitoring in the context of a prospective observational study of artemether-lumefantrine in rural Tanzania: lessons learned for... (Publications)
l study for artemether-lumefantrine (AL) administered as first-line treatment for uncomplicated malaria in rural Tanzania. METHODS: Pharmacovigilance procedures were developed through collaboration between
Monitoring <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> and <em>Plasmodium vivax</em> using microsatellite markers indicates limited changes in population structure... (Publications)
transmission declines. Here we describe the first population genetic analysis of the major human malaria parasites, Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) and Plasmodium vivax (Pv) following nationwide distribution
<em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> heterochromatin protein 1 marks genomic loci linked to phenotypic variation of exported virulence factors (Publications)
Epigenetic processes are the main conductors of phenotypic variation in eukaryotes. The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum employs antigenic variation of the major surface antigen PfEMP1, encoded by
Clinical manifestations of human brucellosis: a systematic review and meta-analysis (Publications)
45%, respectively). Given that 78% patients had fever, brucellosis poses a diagnostic challenge in malaria-endemic areas. Significant delays in appropriate diagnosis and treatment were the result of health
