Airborne cultivable microflora and microbial transfer in farm buildings and rural dwellings (Publications)
Objectives Exposure to environments rich in microorganisms such as farms has been shown to protect against the development of childhood asthma and allergies. However, it remains unclear where, and how
Antihistamines are superior to topical steroids in managing human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated papular pruritic eruption (Publications)
Papular pruritic eruption (PPE) is a frequent HIV-comorbidity in tropical countries. Because of constant itching and social stigma, effective treatment is highly valued. In our HIV cohort in rural Tan
Molecular analysis of carbohydrate-antibody interactions: case study using a <em>Bacillus anthracis</em> tetrasaccharide (Publications)
The process for selecting potent and effective carbohydrate antigens is not well-established. A combination of synthetic glycan microarray screening, surface plasmon resonance analysis, and saturation
Oxidative properties of ambient PM2.5 and elemental composition: Heterogeneous associations in 19 European cities (Publications)
We assessed the extent to which constituents of PM2.5 (transition metals, sodium, chloride) contribute to the ability to generate hydroxyl radicals ((OH)-O-center dot) in vitro in PM2.5 sampled at 20
Deoxyuridine triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase as a potential antiparasitic drug target (Publications)
This paper describes a structure-activity study to identify novel, small-molecule inhibitors of the enzyme deoxyuridine 5'-triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase (dUTPase) from parasitic protozoa. The succe
Epidémiologie des helminthoses gastro-intestinales des petits ruminants dans la zone sylvo-pastorale au Sénégal (Publications)
An epidemiological survey on gastrointestinal helminthiasis in 51 sheep and 51 goats was held in the tree-cropping pasture region in Senegal from October 1990 to September 1991. All the animals examin
Application of a diffusion charger for the measurement of particle surface concentration in different environments (Publications)
Particle surface area has recently been considered as a possible metric in an attempt to correlate particle characteristics with health effects. In order to provide input to such studies, two Nanopart
