KvarQ: targeted and direct variant calling from fastq reads of bacterial genomes (Publications)
BACKGROUND: High-throughput DNA sequencing produces vast amounts of data, with millions of short reads that usually have to be mapped to a reference genome or newly assembled. Both reference-based map
Distribution and attachment of <em>Trypanosoma (Nannomonas) congolense</em> in the proximal part of the proboscis of<em> Glossina morsitans... (Publications)
The distribution and attachment of Trypanosoma congolense were investigated in the proximal part of the proboscis of Glossina m. morsitans. In the food canal, epimastigotes and trypomastigotes formed
The ultrastructure of cultured <em>Plasmodium gallinaceum </em>ookinetes: a comparison of intact stages with forms damaged by extracts from blood fed,... (Publications)
The ultrastructure of intact, mature and immature ookinetes of Plasmodium gallinaceum is compared with corresponding stages which have been damaged by Aedes aegypti extracts prepared during blood dige
Genome and phylogenetic analyses of <em>Trypanosoma evansi</em> reveal extensive similarity to <em>T. brucei </em>and multiple independent origins for... (Publications)
Two key biological features distinguish Trypanosoma evansi from the T. brucei group: independence from the tsetse fly as obligatory vector, and independence from the need for functional mitochondrial
Made-to-measure malaria vector control strategies: rational design based on insecticide properties and coverage of blood resources for mosquitoes (Publications)
Eliminating malaria from highly endemic settings will require unprecedented levels of vector control. To suppress mosquito populations, vector control products targeting their blood hosts must attain
Prevalence and risk factors of <em>Strongyloides stercoralis</em> in Takeo Province, Cambodia (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The threadworm Strongyloides stercoralis, the most neglected helminth, affects an estimated 30-100 million people worldwide. Information on S. stercoralis infection is scarce in tropical a
