Identification of an <em>Onchocerca volvulus</em> cDNA encoding a low-molecular-weight antigen uniquely recognized by onchocerciasis patient sera (Publications)
The primary structure of an immunodominant antigen of the filarial parasite, Onchocerca volvulus was deduced from cDNA sequence analysis. Using affinity-purified antibody from onchocerciasis patients

We used activity diaries and snail detection to relate water contact and Schistosoma japonicum infection among a cohort of 178 residents on two islands in the Dongting Lake, China. Water exposure to e
Five-year impact of repeated praziquantel treatment on subclinical morbidity due to<em> Schistosoma japonicum</em> in China (Publications)
We report the 5-year impact (1996-2001) of repeated praziquantel chemotherapy on subclinical morbidity related to Schistosoma japonicum infection. We repeated stool examinations and hepatosplenic ultr

Early age at menarche, lung function and adult asthma (Publications)
RATIONALE: Hormonal and metabolic status appears to influence lung health in women, and there are findings suggesting that early menarche may be related to asthma, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and
Morphological effects and tegumental alterations induced by mefloquine on schistosomula and adult flukes of <em>Schistosoma mansoni</em> (Publications)
SUMMARYThere is a pressing need to develop novel anti-schistosomal drugs, as current treatment relies largely on praziquantel (PZQ). To further strengthen current evidence of the anti-schistosomal pro
