A large-scale behavior change intervention to prevent Nipah transmission in Bangladesh: components and costs (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Nipah virus infection (NiV) is a bat-borne zoonosis transmitted to humans through consumption of NiV-contaminated raw date palm sap in Bangladesh. The objective of this analysis was to mea
PCR-based verification of positive rapid diagnostic tests for intestinal protozoa infections with variable test band intensity (Publications)
Stool-based rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) for pathogenic intestinal protozoa (e.g. Cryptosporidium spp. and Giardia intestinalis) allow for prompt diagnosis and treatment in resource-constrained setti
Quality of life as predictor for the development of cardiac ischemia in high-risk asymptomatic diabetic patients (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Ischemia induced by psychological stress and depression is a common phenomenon in stable coronary artery disease (CAD). We evaluated the quality of life (QoL) of diabetic patients screened
Seasonal pattern of <em>Mycobacterium ulcerans</em>, the causative agent of Buruli ulcer, in the environment in Ghana (Publications)

Alkamides from <em>Anacyclus pyrethrum</em> L. and their <em>in vitro</em> antiprotozoal activity (Publications)
In our ongoing study to evaluate the antiprotozoal activity of alkamides from Asteraceae, a dichloromethane extract from the roots of Anacycluspyrethrum L. showed a moderate in vitro activity against
Molecular basis for covalent inhibition of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase by a 2-phenoxy-1,4-naphthoquinone small molecule (Publications)
Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) has recently gained attention as an anti-protozoan and anti-cancer drug target. We have previously identified 2-phenoxy-1,4-naphthoquinone as an inhibi
