Genetic reconstruction of protozoan rRNA decoding sites provides a rationale for paromomycin activity against <em>Leishmania</em> and... (Publications)
Aminoglycoside antibiotics target the ribosomal decoding A-site and are active against a broad spectrum of bacteria. These compounds bind to a highly conserved stem-loop-stem structure in helix 44 of
Tick-borne diseases in Switzerland and climate change (Publications)

Obstacles to prompt and effective malaria treatment lead to low community-coverage in two rural districts of Tanzania (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Malaria is still a leading child killer in sub-Saharan Africa. Yet, access to prompt and effective malaria treatment, a mainstay of any malaria control strategy, is sub-optimal in many set
Genome-wide identification of molecular mimicry candidates in parasites (Publications)
Among the many strategies employed by parasites for immune evasion and host manipulation, one of the most fascinating is molecular mimicry. With genome sequences available for host and parasite, mimic
One health in Switzerland: a visionary concept at a crossroads? (Publications)
One Health stands for the health of humans, animals and the environment. There is only one health in our entire ecosystem, and the equation for its promotion is in interdisciplinary cooperation. One H
Comparative performance of the Mbita trap, CDC light trap and the human landing catch in the sampling of <em>Anopheles arabiensis</em>, <em>An.... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Mosquitoes sampling is an important component in malaria control. However, most of the methods used have several shortcomings and hence there is a need to develop and calibrate new methods
