Sterilising effects of pyriproxyfen on <em>Anopheles arabiensis</em> and its potential use in malaria control (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Insecticide resistance poses a major threat to current vector control campaigns. Insecticides with novel modes of action are therefore in high demand. Pyriproxyfen (PPF), a conventional mo
A simple and efficient tool for trapping gravid <em>Anopheles</em> at breeding sites (Publications)
BACKGROUND: No effective tool currently exists for trapping ovipositing malaria vectors. This creates a gap in our ability to investigate the behavior and ecology of gravid Anopheles. FINDINGS: Here w
A clinical prediction score in addition to WHO criteria for anti-retroviral treatment failure in resource-limited settings: experience from Lesotho (Publications)
OBJECTIVE: To assess the positive predictive value (PPV) of a clinical score for viral failure among patients fulfilling the WHO-criteria for anti-retroviral treatment (ART) failure in rural Lesotho.
Patterns of multimorbidity in the aged population: results from the KORA-Age study (Publications)
Multimorbidity is a common problem in aged populations with a wide range of individual and societal consequences. The objective of the study was to explore patterns of comorbidity and multimorbidity i
Strategic roles for behaviour change communication in a changing malaria landscape (Publications)
Strong evidence suggests that quality strategic behaviour change communication (BCC) can improve malaria prevention and treatment behaviours. As progress is made towards malaria elimination, BCC becom
Impact of bacterial genetics on the transmission of isoniazid-resistant <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> (Publications)
Understanding the ecology of drug-resistant pathogens is essential for devising rational programs to preserve the effective lifespan of antimicrobial agents and to abrogate epidemics of drug-resistant
The impact of different rehabilitation strategies after major events in the elderly: the case of stroke and hip fracture in the Tuscany region (Publications)
BACKGROUND: On a regional level, our aims were to describe rehabilitation patterns for elderly patients with stroke and hip fracture and to investigate mortality risk during the 6-month post acute per
