Identification of <em>T. brucei</em>-subgroup strains isolated from game (Publications)
Several T. brucei-subgroup strains isolated from game were investigated with the blood incubation infectivity test (BIIT) and in human volunteers. Original isolates and their clones derivatives were t
KvarQ: targeted and direct variant calling from fastq reads of bacterial genomes (Publications)
BACKGROUND: High-throughput DNA sequencing produces vast amounts of data, with millions of short reads that usually have to be mapped to a reference genome or newly assembled. Both reference-based map
Distribution and attachment of <em>Trypanosoma (Nannomonas) congolense</em> in the proximal part of the proboscis of<em> Glossina morsitans... (Publications)
The distribution and attachment of Trypanosoma congolense were investigated in the proximal part of the proboscis of Glossina m. morsitans. In the food canal, epimastigotes and trypomastigotes formed
Lipase and unspecific esterase activity in the fat body of <em>Aedes aegypti</em> L. (Publications)
In the fat body of Aedes aegypti a very high unspecific esterase activity and a low lipolytic activity was found. The electrophoretic isozyme patterns of the unspecific esterases show only few changes
High colonization rates of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing <em>Escherichia coli</em> in Swiss travellers to South Asia- a... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: International travel contributes to the worldwide spread of multidrug resistant Gram-negative bacteria. Rates of travel-related faecal colonization with extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (E
Nuclear coat and viruslike particles in the midgut epithelium of <em>Glossina morsitans</em> sspp. (Publications)
The ultrastructural aspects of the nuclear coat formation in midgut epithelial cells of pupae and adult flies of G. morsitans sspp. are described. Out of four different species of Glossina examined, t
Effect of ethidium bromide on growth and morphology of <em>Leishmania tarentolae</em> promastigotes <em>in vitro</em> (Publications)
Incubation of Leishmania tarentolae promastigotes in 0.01 microgram/ml ethidium bromide in Neo Ye medium for 96 h resulted in 60% inhibition of cell growth and 91% dyskinetoplasty. After 48 h incubati
