Deletion in the gene BruAb2_0168 of <em>Brucella abortus</em> strains: diagnostic challenges (Publications)
abortus strains were isolated from joint hygromas from cows in northern Togo. Two deletions in the 5' side of the gene BruAb2_0168 were identified. As this gene is used for species identification, these
New derivatives of bicyclic diamines with antiprotozoal activity (Publications)
omega-Aminoacyl and -alkyl derivatives of 4-(dialkylamino)bicyclo[2.2.2]octan-2-amines and of 5-(dialkylamino)-2-azabicyclo[3.2.2]nonanes were prepared and their activities were examined in vitro against

transporter responsible for drug uptake. The same transporter carries the fluorescent diamidine DB99 (2,5-bis-(4-amidinophenyl)-3,4-dimethylfuran) into trypanosomes. The two DNA-containing structures in the
2,4-diaminopyrimidines as inhibitors of leishmanial and trypanosomal dihydrofolate reductase (Publications)
This paper describes the synthesis of 4'-substituted and 3',4'-disubstituted 5-benzyl-2,4-diaminopyrimidines as selective inhibitors of leishmanial and trypanosomal dihydrofolate reductase. Compounds were
A new antifungal and antiprotozoal bibenzyl derivative from<em> Gavilea lutea</em> (Publications)
together with two glycosylated flavonoids (1 and 2), batatasin III (3) and the phenanthrene isohircinol (5) were isolated from the aerial parts of Gavilea lutea. Their structures were elucidated on the basis

The silent burden of anaemia in Tanzanian children: a community-based study (Publications)
document the prevalence, age-distribution, and risk factors for anaemia in Tanzanian children less than 5 years old, thereby assisting in the development of effective strategies for controlling anaemia. METHODS:
Cultivation of procyclic trypomastigotes of <em>Trypanosoma congolense</em> in a semi-defined medium with direct adaptation from bloodstream forms (Publications)
transformed into procyclic trypomastigotes. Established cultures of the procyclic forms yielded up to 4.5 X 10(7) parasites/ml. The cultivated populations consisted only of trypomastigotes and were not infective
