Increased nasopharyngeal density and concurrent carriage of <em>Streptococcus pneumoniae</em>, <em>Haemophilus influenzae</em>, and <em>Moraxella... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: We assessed nasopharyngeal (NP) carriage of five pathogens in febrile children with and without acute respiratory infection (ARI) of the upper (URTI) or lower tract, attending health facil
Susceptibility of <em>Anopheles gambiae</em> to insecticides used for malaria vector control in Rwanda (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The widespread emergence of resistance to pyrethroids is a major threat to the gains made in malaria control. To monitor the presence and possible emergence of resistance against a variety
Generation of monoclonal antibodies against native viral proteins using antigen-expressing mammalian cells for mouse immunization (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Due to their rising incidence and progressive geographical spread, infections with mosquito-borne viruses, such as dengue (DENV), chikungunya and zika virus, have developed into major publ
Patient-reported barriers to adherence to antiretroviral therapy: a systematic review and meta-analysis (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Maintaining high levels of adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) is a challenge across settings and populations. Understanding the relative importance of different barriers to adherenc
Road traffic noise, blood pressure and heart rate: pooled analyses of harmonized data from 88,336 participants (Publications)
INTRODUCTION: Exposure to road traffic noise may increase blood pressure and heart rate. It is unclear to what extent exposure to air pollution may influence this relationship. We investigated associa
Parental attitudes towards measles vaccination in the canton of Aargau, Switzerland: a latent class analysis (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Despite the successes of routine national childhood vaccination programmes, measles remains a public health concern. The purpose of this paper is to investigate how patterns of parental at
Mass mosquito trapping for malaria control in western Kenya: study protocol for a stepped wedge cluster-randomised trial (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Increasing levels of insecticide resistance as well as outdoor, residual transmission of malaria threaten the efficacy of existing vector control tools used against malaria mosquitoes. The
An amphiphilic graft copolymer-based nanoparticle platform for reduction-responsive anticancer and antimalarial drug delivery (Publications)
Medical applications of anticancer and antimalarial drugs often suffer from low aqueous solubility, high systemic toxicity, and metabolic instability. Smart nanocarrier-based drug delivery systems pro
