High prevalence of <em>Schistosoma haematobium</em> x <em>Schistosoma bovis</em> hybrids in schoolchildren in Côte d'Ivoire (Publications)
Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease, though it is highly prevalent in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa. While Schistosoma haematobium-bovis hybrids have been reported in West Africa, no da

Mapping and functional analysis of heterochromatin protein 1 phosphorylation in the malaria parasite <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> (Publications)
Previous studies in model eukaryotes have demonstrated that phosphorylation of heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) is important for dynamically regulating its various functions. However, in the malaria pa
Molecular identification of zoonotic tissue-invasive tapeworm larvae other than <em>Taenia solium</em> in suspected human cysticercosis cases (Publications)
Rarely, zoonotic Taenia species other than Taenia solium cause human cysticercosis. The larval stages are morphologically often indistinguishable. We therefore investigated 12 samples of suspected hum
<em>Dirofilaria repens</em> infection and concomitant meningoencephalitis (Publications)
Dirofilaria repens, a filarial nematode of dogs and other carnivores, can accidentally infect humans. Clinical symptoms are usually restricted to a subcutaneous nodule containing a single infertile pa
Accelerated identification of <em>Staphylococcus aureus</em> from blood cultures by a modified fluorescence <em>in situ</em> hybridization procedure (Publications)
This study evaluated fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) for rapid identification of Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) directly from blood cultures. Initially, 36
