Reproducibility of functional connectivity and graph measures based on the Phase Lag Index (PLI) and weighted Phase Lag Index (wPLI) derived from high... (Publications)
Functional connectivity (FC) and graph measures provide powerful means to analyze complex networks. The current study determines the inter-subject-variability using the coefficient of variation (CoV)
Mechanoreceptor--trypanosome interactions in the labrum of <em>Glossina</em>: fluid mechanics (Publications)
The fluid mechanics of the flow of blood through the labrum of Glossina is described in uninfected and trypanosome infected flies. The flow is characterised by the Reynolds number, and a frequency par
In vitro damage of cultured ookinetes of <em>Plasmodium gallinaceum</em> by digestive proteinases from susceptible <em>Aedes aegypti</em> (Publications)
After exposure to extracts from blood fed A. aegupti cultured ookinetes of P. gallinaceum were damaged to various, defined extents. Immature ookinetes were found to be more sensitive to damage than ma
Investigating mosquito net durability for malaria control in Tanzania - attrition, bioefficacy, chemistry, degradation and insecticide resistance... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) are one of the major malaria vector control tools, with most countries adopting free or subsidised universal coverage campaigns of populations at-ris
The esterase patterns in the ovaries and the embryonated eggs of <em>Aedes aegypti</em> L. (Publications)
The esterases of Aedes aegypti were studied in the ovary before and during a gonotrophic cycle and also in fully embryonated eggs by means of disc electrophoresis. During oogenesis no significacant ch
High colonization rates of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing <em>Escherichia coli</em> in Swiss travellers to South Asia- a... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: International travel contributes to the worldwide spread of multidrug resistant Gram-negative bacteria. Rates of travel-related faecal colonization with extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (E
