gammadelta T cells are implicated to play crucial roles during early immune responses to pathogens. A subset of human gammadelta T cells carrying the Vgamma9Vdelta2 TCR recognize small, phosphorylated
Improving health through policies that promote active travel: A review of evidence to support integrated health impact assessment (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Substantial policy changes to control obesity, limit chronic disease, and reduce air pollution emissions, including greenhouse gasses, have been recommended. Transportation and planning po
Putative compensatory mutations in the <em>rpoC</em> gene of rifampicin-resistant <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> are associated with ongoing... (Publications)
Rifampicin resistance in clinical isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis arises primarily through the selection of bacterial variants harbouring mutations in the 81 base-pair rifampicin resistance det
Value of ultrasonography in investigating morbidity due to <em>Schistosoma haematobium</em> infection (Publications)
In an area where urinary schistosomiasis was endemic 349 patients were examined by ultrasonography. To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of this technique, intravenous pyelography and cystoscop
Does <em>M. tuberculosis</em> genomic diversity explain disease diversity? (Publications)
The outcome of tuberculosis infection and disease is highly variable. This variation has been attributed primarily to host and environmental factors, but better understanding of the global genomic div
Association of FEV1 in asthmatic children with personal and microenvironmental exposure to airborne particulate matter (Publications)
Exposure to particulate matter (PM) air pollution has been shown to exacerbate children's asthma, but the exposure sources and temporal characteristics are still under study. Children's exposure to PM
