   Standard genotyping overestimates transmission of <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> among immigrants in a low incidence country

   Relevance:

   found weak evidence for an association between birth origin and transmission (aOR 2.2, 95% CI: 0.9-5.5, comparing Swiss-born patients to others). In conclusion, standard genotyping overestimated recent

   A new nonpolar N-hydroxy imidazoline lead compound with improved activity in a murine model of late stage <em>Trypanosoma brucei brucei</em> infection is not cross-resistant with diamidines

   Relevance:

   imidazoline analogues were the most effective in vivo with 4-((1-hydroxy-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)amino)-N-(4-((1-hydroxy-4,5-dihydro-1H -imidazol-2-yl)amino)phenyl)benzamide ( 14D: ) showing 100% cures

5. Reproducibility of pacing profiles in elite swimmers (Publications)

   Reproducibility of pacing profiles in elite swimmers

   Relevance:

   The level of both competitions for the analysis had to be at least national championships (7.7 +/- 5.4 wk apart). Standard error of measurement expressed as percentage of the subject's mean score (CV) [...] 0.9% and 2.6% in all finals. Split-time variability for finals and heats ranged between 0.9% and 2.5% (CL 0.3-4.9%). CONCLUSION: Pacing profiles are consistent between different competitions. Variability

   promising immunological results 5 of these peptides were selected for further analysis. Direct sequencing of field samples from Papua New Guinea and Tanzania showed that 3 out of these 5 peptides were completely

7. Local perceptions of cholera and anticipated vaccine acceptance in Katanga province, Democratic Republic of Congo (Publications)

   Local perceptions of cholera and anticipated vaccine acceptance in Katanga province, Democratic Republic of Congo

   Relevance:

   form of praying for healing were positively associated with anticipated OCV acceptance if costs of USD 5 were assumed. Conversely, respondents who feared negative social implications of cholera were less likely [...] respondents who generated their income through fishing. With an increase of assumed costs to USD 10.5, fear of financial constraints was negatively associated as well. CONCLUSIONS: Results suggest a high

   Estimating the burden of malaria in Senegal: Bayesian zero-inflated binomial geostatistical modeling of the MIS 2008 data

   Relevance:

   paper, we present spatially explicit parasitaemia risk estimates and number of infected children below 5 years. Geostatistical Zero-Inflated Binomial models (ZIB) were developed to take into account the large [...] (8.08%) whereas the region with the highest estimated number of infected children under the age of 5 years is Kolda (13940). The contemporary map and estimates of malaria burden identify the priority areas

    Perceived illness drives participation in mass deworming campaigns in Laos

    Relevance:

    (19/21). Most leaders (20/21) had a good knowledge on severe schistosomiasis though only a few of them (5/21) described its cause correctly. They knew little about the disease consequences of liver fluke (3/21) [...] fish (100%), frequent physical contacts with Mekong River water (76.0%) and low number of latrines (14.5%). In conclusion, MDA is widely accepted in affected communities. Avoiding severe schistosomiasis was
