Transdisciplinary research on cancer-healing systems between biomedicine and the Maya of Guatemala: a tool for reciprocal reflexivity in a... (Publications)
Transdisciplinarity (TD) is a participatory research approach in which actors from science and society work closely together. It offers means for promoting knowledge integration and finding solutions
The genetic architecture of type 2 diabetes (Publications)
The genetic architecture of common traits, including the number, frequency, and effect sizes of inherited variants that contribute to individual risk, has been long debated. Genome-wide association st
Successful comeback of the single-dose live oral cholera vaccine CVD 103-HgR (Publications)
Effective and easy to administer cholera vaccines are in need more than ever, for at risk populations and travellers alike. In many parts of the world cholera is still endemic, causing outbreaks and c
Discovery of antischistosomal drug leads based on tetraazamacrocyclic derivatives and their metal complexes (Publications)
Praziquantel (PZQ) is the only available drug to treat schistosomiasis, and since its large scale use might be associated with the onset of resistance, new antischistosomal drugs should be developed.
School distribution as keep-up strategy to maintain universal coverage of long-lasting insecticidal nets: implementation and results of a program in... (Publications)
Tanzania successfully scaled up coverage of long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) through mass campaigns. To sustain these gains, a school-based approach was piloted in the country's Southern Zone st
Epidemiology of <em>Opisthorchis viverrini</em> in a rural district of southern Lao PDR (Publications)
In Lao PDR, detailed investigations on Opisthorchis viverrini are scarce. The objective was to document epidemiological features of O. viverrini infections in a highly endemic district. A random sampl
Combining synthetic human odours and low-cost electrocuting grids to attract and kill outdoor-biting mosquitoes: field and semi-field evaluation of an... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: On-going malaria transmission is increasingly mediated by outdoor-biting vectors, especially where indoor insecticidal interventions such as long-lasting insecticide treated nets (LLINs) a
Reaching the surveillance-response stage of schistosomiasis control in the People's Republic of China: a modelling approach (Publications)
With the goal set to eliminate schistosomiasis nationwide by 2020, The People's Republic of China has initiated the surveillance-response stage to identify remaining sources of infection and potential
Bimodal X-ray and infrared imaging of an organometallic derivative of praziquantel in <em>Schistosoma mansoni</em> (Publications)
An organometallic derivative of praziquantel was studied directly in worms, using ICP-MS for quantification and synchrotron based imaging. X-Ray fluorescence and IR absorption microspectroscopy, were
