Increased and expedited case detection by Xpert MTB/RIF assay in childhood tuberculosis: a prospective cohort study (Publications)
Background. Diagnosis and timely treatment of tuberculosis in children is hampered by the absence of fast and reliable tests, especially in the era of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The aim of th
The <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> family of Rab GTPases (Publications)
Rab GTPases are key regulators of vesicular traffic in eukaryotic cells. Here we sought a global characterization and description of the Plasmodium falciparum family of Rab GTPases. We used a combinat
Evaluation des VNTR (variable number of tandem repeats) des isolats de <em>Mycobacterium bovis</em> en Algérie (Publications)
The discriminatory potency of variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR), based on 7 loci (MIRU 26, 27 and 5 ETRs A, B, C, D, E) was assayed on Mycobacterium bovis strains obtained from samples due to t
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
