Malaria transmission dynamics in central Côte d'Ivoire: the influence of changing patterns of irrigated rice agriculture (Publications)
The dynamics of malaria transmission was studied comparatively in the villages of Zatta and Tiemelekro, central Cote d'Ivoire, from February 2002 to August 2003. Prominent agroecosystems in these vill
Identification of a synthetic peptide inducing cross-reactive antibodies binding to <em>Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) decoloratus</em>, <em>Rhipicephalus... (Publications)
The BM86 antigen, originally identified in Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, is the basis of the only commercialized anti-tick vaccine. The long-term goal of our study is to improve BM86 based vacc
Antiplasmodial activity of a series of 1,3,5-triazine-substituted polyamines (Publications)
Polyamine biosynthesis and function has been shown to be a good drug target in some parasitic protozoa and it is proposed that the pathway might also represent a target in the malaria parasite Plasmod
Cross-validation of bioelectrical impedance analysis for the assessment of body composition in a representative sample of 6- to 13-year-old children (Publications)
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: (1) To cross-validate tetra- (4-BIA) and octopolar (8-BIA) bioelectrical impedance analysis vs dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for the assessment of total and appendicula
Identification of an ABCB/P-glycoprotein-specific inhibitor of auxin transport by chemical genomics (Publications)
Plant development and physiology are widely determined by the polar transport of the signaling molecule auxin. This process is controlled on the cellular efflux level catalyzed by members of the PIN (
Biologically meaningful coverage indicators for eliminating malaria transmission (Publications)
Mosquitoes, which evade contact with long-lasting insecticidal nets and indoor residual sprays, by feeding outdoors or upon animals, are primary malaria vectors in many tropical countries. They can al
