Metabolic, immune, and gut microbial signals mount a systems response to <em>Leishmania major</em> infection (Publications)
Parasitic infections such as leishmaniasis induce a cascade of host physiological responses, including metabolic and immunological changes. Infection with Leishmania major parasites causes cutaneous l
Cross-sectional surveys and subtype classification of human <em>Blastocystis</em> isolates from four epidemiological settings in China (Publications)
The prevalence and geographical distribution of the intestinal protozoa Blastocystis in humans across China is unknown, and the relative importance of different subtypes has yet to be investigated. We
Quantification of self pollution from two diesel school buses using three independent methods (Publications)
We monitored two Seattle school buses to quantify the buses' self pollution using the dual tracers (DT), lead vehicle (LV), and chemical mass balance (CMB) methods. Each bus drove along a residential
Parallel synthesis of a series of non-functional ATP/NAD analogs with activity against trypanosomatid parasites (Publications)
Non-functional analogs of the cofactors ATP and NAD are putative inhibitors of ATP- or NAD-dependant enzymes. Since pathogenic protozoa rely heavily on the salvage of purine nucleosides from the blood
