An immigration-death model to estimate the duration of malaria infection when detectability of the parasite is imperfect (Publications)
Immigration-death models are proposed to analyse the infection dynamics in longitudinal studies of panels of heavily parasitized human hosts where parasites have been typed at regular intervals by PCR
Single pollutant versus surrogate measure approaches: do single pollutant risk assessments underestimate the impact of air pollution on lung cancer... (Publications)
Cancer risk as a result of air pollution may be quantified by different approaches. We compared the sum of unit risk based effects of single pollutants with an epidemiology-based method by using PM(10
Temporal and spatial variation of the chemical composition of PM10 at urban and rutal sites in the Basel area (Publications)
Particulate matter measurements of di!erent size fractions (PM, PM, TSP) were performed in the Basel area (Switzerland) at seven urban sites throughout 1997 and at two urban and two rural sites during
Differential expression of var gene groups is associated with morbidity caused by <em>Plasmodium falciparum </em>infection in Tanzanian children (Publications)
The var gene family of Plasmodium falciparum encodes the variant surface antigen Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1). PfEMP1 is considered an important pathogenicity factor i
Estimating the exposure-response relationships between particulate matter and mortality within the APHEA multicity project (Publications)
Several studies have reported significant health effects of air pollution even at low levels of air pollutants, but in most of theses studies linear nonthreshold relations were assumed. We investigate
Elektromagnetische Felder und Gesundheit: Risikowahrnehmung in der Öffentlichkeit (Publications)
Surveys showed that a substantial part of the population and the general practitioners believe that daily life exposures to electromagnetic fields (EMF) can cause non-specific symptoms of ill health.
