Efficacy and safety of artemether against a natural <em>Fasciola hepatica</em> infection in sheep (Publications)
Triclabendazole is the current drug of choice against Fasciola spp. infections in livestock, but resistance has become a major problem. In this study, we assessed the efficacy and safety of artemether
Confounding and effect modification in the short-term effects of ambient particles on total mortality: results from 29 European cities within the... (Publications)
We present the results of the Air Pollution and Health: A European Approach 2 (APHEA2) project on short-term effects of ambient particles on mortality with emphasis on effect modification. We used dai
New loci associated with kidney function and chronic kidney disease (Publications)
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant public health problem, and recent genetic studies have identified common CKD susceptibility variants. The CKDGen consortium performed a meta-analysis of g
From morbidity control to transmission control: time to change tactics against helminths on Unguja Island, Zanzibar (Publications)
In Zanzibar, the prevalence and intensity of helminth infections have markedly declined over the past 25 years, which is generally attributed to morbidity control programmes emphasising 'preventive ch
Use of diagnostic microarrays for determination of virulence gene patterns of <em>Escherichia coli</em> K1, a major cause of neonatal meningitis (Publications)
Forty Escherichia coli strains isolated primarily from neonatal meningitis, urinary tract infections and feces were screened for the presence of virulence genes with a newly developed microarray on th
Exposure to substances in the workplace and new-onset asthma: an international prospective population-based study (ECRHS-II) (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The role of exposure to substances in the workplace in new-onset asthma is not well characterised in population-based studies. We therefore aimed to estimate the relative and attributable
Evaluation of <em>Plasmodium vivax</em> genotyping markers for molecular monitoring in clinical trials (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Many antimalarial interventions are accompanied by molecular monitoring of parasite infections, and a number of molecular typing techniques based on different polymorphic marker genes are
