GPS-based fine-scale mapping surveys for schistosomiasis assessment: a practical introduction and documentation of field implementation (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Fine-scale mapping of schistosomiasis to guide micro-targeting of interventions will gain importance in elimination settings, where the heterogeneity of transmission is often pronounced. N
Antischistosomal tetrahydro-<em>γ</em>-carboline sulfonamides (Publications)
We discovered tetrahydro- gamma -carboline sulfonamides as a new antischistosomal chemotype. The aryl sulfonamide and tetrahydro- gamma-carboline substructures were required for high antischistosomal
Evaluation of two-year recall of self-reported pesticide exposure among Ugandan smallholder farmers (Publications)
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate smallholder farmers' recall of pesticide use and exposure determinants over a two-year period in a low-income country context. METHODS: The Pesticide Use in Tropical Settings (
Using observed incidence to calibrate the transmission level of a mathematical model for <em>Plasmodium vivax</em> dynamics including case management... (Publications)
In this work, we present a simple and flexible model for Plasmodium vivax dynamics which can be easily combined with routinely collected data on local and imported case counts to quantify transmission
Risk factors and spatial distribution of <em>Schistosoma mansoni </em>infection among preschool-aged children in Blapleu, Biankouma district, Western... (Publications)
Schistosoma mansoni infection is common among school-age children (SAC) in western Cote d'Ivoire. Little is known on the infection rate of preschool-aged children (PSAC) due to epidemiological data de
The 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1 is an essential upstream activator of protein kinase A in malaria parasites (Publications)
Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase A (PKA) signalling is essential for the proliferation of Plasmodium falciparum malaria blood stage parasites. The mechanisms regulating t
Vaccine hesitancy and its determinants – a way forward? (Publications)
The availability of highly effective SARS-CoV-2 vaccines brought about renewed hope worldwide to overcome the pandemic, becoming an integral part of public health measures. However, vaccine hesitance,
Seasonal variations in air concentrations of 27 organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and 25 current-use pesticides (CUPs) across three agricultural areas... (Publications)
For decades pesticides have been used in agriculture, however, the occurrence of legacy organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) and current-use pesticides (CUPs) is poorly understood in Africa. This study in
