   Atopic sensitization in the first year of life

   Relevance:

   BACKGROUND: There is conflicting evidence on whether allergen-specific memory is primed prenatally, whether this priming affects persistent immunologic effects, and whether it is modulated by the firs

2. An international survey of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in young adults according to GOLD stages (Publications)

   An international survey of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in young adults according to GOLD stages

   Relevance:

   BACKGROUND: The recently published GOLD guidelines provide a new system for staging chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) from mild (stage I) to very severe (stage IV) and introduce a stage 0 (

3. <em>In vivo</em> and <em>in vitro</em> sensitivity of <em>Fasciola hepatica</em> to combinations of triclabendazole and artesunate, artemether or OZ78 (Publications)

   <em>In vivo</em> and <em>in vitro</em> sensitivity of <em>Fasciola hepatica</em> to combinations of triclabendazole and artesunate, artemether or OZ78

   Relevance:

   Triclabendazole resistance is continually documented from livestock and hence new treatment strategies for F. hepatica infections are needed. We investigated the effect of combinations with triclabend

4. Past, present, and future of Japanese encephalitis (Publications)

   Japanese encephalitis (JE), a vector-borne viral disease, is endemic to large parts of Asia and the Pacific. An estimated 3 billion people are at risk, and JE has recently spread to new territories. V

5. Heterochromatin silencing and locus repositioning linked to regulation of virulence genes in <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> (Publications)

   Heterochromatin silencing and locus repositioning linked to regulation of virulence genes in <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em>

   Relevance:

   The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum undergoes antigenic variation to evade host immune responses through switching expression of variant surface proteins encoded by the var gene family. We demo

6. Symptoms and transmission of intestinal cryptosporidiosis (Publications)
