A Bayesian approach to estimate the age-specific prevalence of <em>Schistosoma mansoni</em> and implications for schistosomiasis control (Publications)
Models that accurately estimate the age-specific infection prevalence of Schistosoma mansoni can be useful for schistosomiasis control programmes, particularly with regard to whether mass drug adminis
Increased and expedited case detection by Xpert MTB/RIF assay in childhood tuberculosis: a prospective cohort study (Publications)
Background. Diagnosis and timely treatment of tuberculosis in children is hampered by the absence of fast and reliable tests, especially in the era of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The aim of th
The <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> family of Rab GTPases (Publications)
Rab GTPases are key regulators of vesicular traffic in eukaryotic cells. Here we sought a global characterization and description of the Plasmodium falciparum family of Rab GTPases. We used a combinat
Quantifying the evolution and impact of antimalarial drug resistance: drug use, spread of resistance, and drug failure over a 12-year period in Papua... (Publications)
BACKGROUND. Antimalarial use is a key factor driving drug resistance and reduced treatment effectiveness in Plasmodium falciparum malaria, but there are few formal, quantitative analyses of this proce
Limited polymorphism in <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> sexual-stage antigens (Publications)
In areas highly endemic for malaria, individuals are frequently found to be infected simultaneously with multiple Plasmodium falciparum clones. This raises the question of whether all parasite clones
BMI group-related differences in physical fitness and physical activity in preschool-age children: a cross-sectional analysis (Publications)
In the Ballabeina study, we investigated age- and BMI-group-related differences in aerobic fitness (20 m shuttle run), agility (obstacle course), dynamic (balance beam) and static balance (balance pla
