farnesylated quinolone alkaloid, which is known to possess activity against the causative agent of malaria, Plasmodium spp. In this study, we show that aurachin D inhibits other parasitic protozoa as well
Modeling marine cargo traffic to identify countries in Africa with greatest risk of invasion by <em>Anopheles stephensi</em> (Publications)
Anopheles stephensi, an invasive malaria vector native to South Asia and the Arabian Peninsula, was detected in Djibouti's seaport, followed by Ethiopia, Sudan, Somalia, and Nigeria. If An. stephensi

attack that are divergent share common ancestry (e.g., prokaryotic targets in the apicoplast of malaria parasites), whereas those that are convergent arise from a shared lifestyle (e.g., the susceptibility
The influence of biological, epidemiological, and treatment factors on the establishment and spread of drug-resistant <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> (Publications)
The effectiveness of artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) to treat Plasmodium falciparum malaria is threatened by resistance. The complex interplay between sources of selective pressure-treatment

compromise the use of insecticides for the control of vector-borne diseases. The tolerance of the malaria vector, Anopheles arabiensis to deltamethrin was determined in a field population from a cotton-growing
Differences in affinity of monoclonal and naturally acquired polyclonal antibodies against <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> merozoite antigens (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Malaria is a major global cause of deaths and a vaccine is urgently needed. RESULTS: We have employed the P. falciparum merozoite antigens MSP2-3D7/FC27 and AMA1, used them in ELISA, and coupled
New amidated 3,6-diphenylated imidazopyridazines with potent antiplasmodium activity are dual inhibitors of <em>Plasmodium... (Publications)
idazines have demonstrated impressive in vitro activity and in vivo efficacy in mouse models of malaria infection. Herein, we report the synthesis and antiplasmodium evaluation of a new series of amidated

Imported strongyloidosis: a longitudinal analysis of 31 cases (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Attention regarding imported tropical diseases is typically focused on malaria, although other parasitic diseases such as strongyloidosis may also cause serious health problems. The importance
