Indoor residual spraying for preventing malaria (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Primary malaria prevention on a large scale depends on two vector control interventions: indoor residual spraying (IRS) and insecticide-treated mosquito nets (ITNs). Historically, IRS has
Critical roles of glycosylphosphatidylinositol for <em>Trypanosoma brucei</em> (Publications)
Trypanosoma brucei, the protozoan parasite responsible for sleeping sickness, evades the immune response of mammalian hosts and digestion in the gut of the insect vector by means of its coat proteins
A Trk/HKT-type K+ transporter from <em>Trypanosoma brucei</em> (Publications)
The molecular mechanisms of K(+) homeostasis are only poorly understood for protozoan parasites. Trypanosoma brucei subsp. parasites, the causative agents of human sleeping sickness and nagana, are st
