Brain and salivary gland tumors and mobile phone use: evaluating the evidence from various epidemiological study designs (Publications)
Mobile phones (MPs) are the most relevant source of radiofrequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) exposure to the brain and the salivary gland. Whether this exposure implies a cancer risk has been add
Antagonistic effects of <em>Plasmodium</em>-helminth co-infections on malaria pathology in different population groups in Côte d'Ivoire (Publications)
INTRODUCTION: Plasmodium spp. and helminths are co-endemic in many parts of the tropics; hence, co-infection is a common phenomenon. Interactions between Plasmodium and helminth infections may alter t
Biology of two larval morphological phenotypes of <em>Aedes aegypti</em> in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire (Publications)
Since 2008, several outbreaks of yellow fever and dengue occurred in Abidjan, the economic capital of Cote d'Ivoire. A better knowledge of the biology of Aedes aegypti populations, the main vector of
Measuring and characterizing night time human behaviour as it relates to residual malaria transmission in sub-Saharan Africa: a review of the... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Malaria cases and deaths decreased dramatically in recent years, largely due to effective vector control interventions. Persistence of transmission after good coverage has been achieved wi
Resource use, costs, and approval times for planning and preparing a randomized clinical trial before and after the implementation of the new Swiss... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The preparation of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) requires substantial resources and the administrative processes can be burdensome. To facilitate the conduct of RCTs it is important
Daily variation of heavy metal contamination and its potential sources along the major urban wastewater channel in Kampala, Uganda (Publications)
Heavy metal pollution from untreated industrial wastewater has become a major concern to the environment and public health in many rapidly growing cities in low-income countries. Previous studies on h
Rapid multiplex gene expression assays for monitoring metabolic resistance in the major malaria vector <em>Anopheles gambiae</em> (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Metabolic resistance of the major malaria vector Anopheles gambiae (s.l.) to insecticides is operationally significant, particularly in combination with target site resistance. However, de
Life cycle maintenance and drug-sensitivity assays for early drug discovery in <em>Schistosoma mansoni</em> (Publications)
Drug discovery for schistosomiasis is still limited to a handful of academic laboratories worldwide, with only a few novel antischistosomal lead compounds being actively researched. Despite recent int
