A parasitological and immunological survey was carried out in an area in Papua New Guinea highly endemic for malaria. Two hundred fourteen adult individuals were selected for studies to assess their i
Humoral response to<em> Plasmodium falciparum</em> ring-infected erythrocyte surface antigen in a highly endemic area of Papua New Guinea (Publications)
The prevalence and concentration of antibodies to ring-infected erythrocyte surface antigen (RESA) were measured in blood samples collected during a cross-sectional survey conducted in Papua New Guine
Evidence for limited activation of distinct CD4+ T cell subsets in response to the <em>Plasmodium falciparum </em>circumsporozoite protein in Papua... (Publications)
Both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, as well as antibody, are known to be important in sporozoite immunity. Data from animal studies suggest that cytokines, in particular gamma-interferon and interleukin-6, ar
Short communication: appropriate and alternative methods to determine viable bacterial counts in cow milk samples (Publications)
Farm milk consumption is reported to be inversely related to the development of asthma and atopy in children and it has been hypothesized that microorganisms in milk might contribute to this protectiv
