The arbovirus vectors Aedes aegypti (yellow fever mosquito) and Ae. albopictus (Asian tiger mosquito) are both common throughout the Indo-Pacific region, where 70% of global dengue transmission occurs
Patterns of pesticide usage in agriculture in rural Tanzania call for integrating agricultural and public health practices in managing... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Unrestricted use of pesticides in agriculture is likely to increase insecticide resistance in mosquito vectors. Unfortunately, strategies for managing insecticide resistance in agriculture
PfMAP-2 is essential for male gametogenesis in the malaria parasite<em> Plasmodium falciparum</em> (Publications)
In malaria parasites, male gametogenesis is a proliferative stage essential for parasite transmission to the mosquito vector. It is a rapid process involving three rounds of genome replication alterna
Naturally occurring cardenolides affecting <em>Schistosoma mansoni</em> (Publications)
Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease of considerable public health burden. We recently discovered a micromolar activity of several cardenolides against newly transformed schistosomula (NTS)
<em>Opisthorchis felineus</em> infection, risks, and morbidity in rural Western Siberia, Russian Federation (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The liver fluke, Opisthorchis felineus, is widely distributed throughout Europe and large parts of the Russian Federation. In Western Siberia, information about opisthorchiasis is lacking
The independent association of source-specific transportation noise exposure, noise annoyance and noise sensitivity with health-related quality of... (Publications)
Noise exposure is affecting health-related quality of life (HRQoL). There are many modelling approaches linking specific noise sources with single health-related outcomes. However, an integrated appro

The influence of human interaction on guinea pigs: behavioral and thermographic changes during animal-assisted therapy (Publications)
Guinea pigs are often involved in animal-assisted therapy (AAT) but there is little knowledge about the effects of human contact on guinea pigs involved in AAT. The aim of this study was to investigat
Multiple merger genealogies in outbreaks of <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> (Publications)
The Kingman coalescent and its developments are often considered among the most important advances in population genetics of the last decades. Demographic inference based on coalescent theory has been
