Peri-domestic vector control interventions using attractive targeted sugar baits and push-pull strategies (Publications)
Great challenges to sustained malaria and arbovirus control remain, including transmission by vectors that occur outdoors or outside of sleeping hours, the enormous scale of larval breeding in urban c
Semifield system and experimental huts bioassays for the evaluation of spatial (and topical) repellents for indoor and outdoor use (Publications)
In this chapter, we describe considerations for the design of experiments to measure the protective efficacy of bite prevention tools against mosquito vectors. The chapter focuses on the evaluation of
Systematic review of the entomological impact of insecticide-treated nets evaluated using experimental hut trials in Africa (Publications)
Resistance of anopheline mosquitoes to pyrethroid insecticides is spreading rapidly across sub-Saharan Africa, diminishing the efficacy of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) – the primary tool for preven
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
Nationwide analysis of the heat- and cold-related mortality trends in Switzerland between 1969 and 2017: the role of population aging (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Because older adults are particularly vulnerable to nonoptimal temperatures, it is expected that the progressive population aging will amplify the health burden attributable to heat and co
Ready-to-go questionnaire - development and validation of a novel medical pre-travel risk stratification tool (Publications)
BACKGROUND: There are no validated pre-travel self-assessment tools to stratify travellers' health risks and identify their needs for pre-travel medical preparation. This study presents a novel pre-tr
Long-term air pollution exposure and pneumonia related mortality in a large pooled European cohort (Publications)
RATIONALE: Ambient air pollution exposure has been linked to mortality from chronic cardiorespiratory diseases, while evidence on respiratory infections remains more limited. OBJECTIVES: We examined t
Modeling exposure to airborne metals using moss biomonitoring in cemeteries in two urban areas around Paris and Lyon in France (Publications)
Exposure of the general population to airborne metals remains poorly estimated despite the potential health risks. Passive moss biomonitoring can proxy air quality at fine resolution over large areas,
Epidemiological estimate of growth reduction by ozone in <em>Fagus sylvatica L.</em> and <em>Picea abies</em> Karst.: sensitivity analysis and... (Publications)
The critical level of ozone flux for forest trees is based entirely on biomass data from fumigation experiments with saplings, mostly in open-top chambers. Extrapolation to mature forests asks, theref
