The genome, evolution and diversity of <em>Mycobacterium ulcerans</em> (Publications)
Mycobacterium ulcerans (M. ulcerans) causes a devastating infection of the skin and underlying tissue commonly known as Buruli ulcer (BU). Genetic analyses indicate that M. ulcerans has a common ances
What does detection of <em>Mycobacterium ulcerans</em> DNA in the margin of an excised Buruli ulcer lesion tell us? (Publications)
We determined the distribution of Mycobacterium ulcerans DNA by real-time PCR in the excised lesions of Buruli ulcer patients. In one of the patients a new lesion developed adjacent to the site of exc
Wireless communication fields and non-specific symptoms of ill health: a literature review (Publications)

The aim of this study is to find and test a predictive model that could be suitable to estimate the outdoor NO(2) concentrations at individual level, by integrating ecological measurements recorded by
The reliability of pre-travel history to decide on appropriate counseling and vaccinations: a prospective study (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Although medical and travel plans gathered from pre-travel interviews are used to decide the provision of specific pre-travel health advice and vaccinations, there has been no evaluation o
Leukaemia, brain tumours and exposure to extremely low frequency magnetic fields: cohort study of Swiss railway employees (Publications)
