Life cycle maintenance and drug-sensitivity assays for early drug discovery in <em>Schistosoma mansoni</em> (Publications)
life stages. The in vitro and in vivo assays that are performed along the drug-screening cascade are also described. In these assays, which can be performed within 5 d, the effect of a drug is determined [...] by phenotypic assessment of the parasites' viability and morphology, for which stage-specific scoring scales are proposed. Finally, the modalities for testing and evaluating a compound in vivo, constituting [...] we detail the establishment and maintenance of the complex and...

How does district health management emerge within a complex health system? Insights for capacity strengthening in Ghana (Publications)
in the operation of district health systems in low-and middle income countries, including Ghana. Their capacity is determined by their competencies, but also by the organization and system in which they [...] they are embedded. The objective of this paper is to explore how district health management emerges from contextual, organizational, and individual factors in order to demonstrate that capacity strengthening [...] perception of their role and the effort they expend, in addition to their...
