Pharmacokinetic comparison to determine the mechanisms underlying the differential efficacies of cationic diamidines against first- and second-stage... (Publications)
Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), a neglected tropical disease, is fatal without treatment. Pentamidine, a cationic diamidine, has been used to treat first-stage (hemolymphatic) HAT since the 1940s
Characterisation of a melamino nitroheterocycle as a potential lead for the treatment of human African trypanosomiasis (Publications)
This paper reports an evaluation of a melamine-nitroheterocycle, a potential lead for further development as an agent against human African trypanosomiasis (HAT). Studies on its efficacy, physicochemi
A tradition and an epidemic: determinants of the campylobacteriosis winter peak in Switzerland (Publications)
Campylobacteriosis is the most frequently reported food borne infection in Switzerland. We investigated determinants of infections and illness experience in wintertime. A case-control study was conduc
The search for underlying principles of health impact assessment: progress and prospects: comment on "Investigating underlying principles to guide... (Publications)
Health Impact Assessment (HIA) is a relatively young field of endeavour, and hence, future progress will depend on the planning, implementation and rigorous evaluation of additional HIAs of projects,
A <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> PHIST protein binds the virulence factor PfEMP1 and comigrates to knobs on the host cell surface (Publications)
Uniquely among malaria parasites, Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes (iRBCs) develop membrane protrusions, known as knobs, where the parasite adhesion receptor P. falciparum erythrocyte membr
Sun protective behaviour of vacationers spending holidays in the tropics and subtropics (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The development of malignant melanoma has been associated with intense episodic sun exposure, as it typically occurs during holidays in high ultraviolet (UV)-index countries. OBJECTIVES: T
