Towards effective prevention and control of helminth neglected tropical diseases in the Western Pacific Region through multi-disease and... (Publications)
Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) cause serious health, social and economic burdens in the countries of the World Health Organization (WHO) Western Pacific Region. Among the NTDs, helminth infections
Insect-specific production of new GameXPeptides in <em>Photorhabdus luminescens</em> TTO1, widespread natural products in entomopathogenic bacteria (Publications)
Discovery of new natural products by heterologous expression reaches its limits, especially when specific building blocks are missing in the heterologous host or the production medium. Here, we descri

Perceived illness drives participation in mass deworming campaigns in Laos (Publications)
Multiple helminth infections are very common in communities of southern Laos. Preventive chemotherapy in combination with health education is the mainstay of control. We assessed the knowledge, percep
Reliability of fully automated versus visually controlled pre- and post-processing of resting-state EEG (Publications)
OBJECTIVE: To compare the reliability of a newly developed Matlab® toolbox for the fully automated, pre- and post-processing of resting state EEG (automated analysis, AA) with the reliability of analy
Application of land use regression modelling to assess the spatial distribution of road traffic noise in three European cities (Publications)
Noise prediction models and noise maps are used to estimate the exposure to road traffic noise, but their availability and the quality of the noise estimates is sometimes limited. This paper explores
Mass screening and treatment on the basis of results of a <em>Plasmodium</em> <em>falciparum</em>-specific rapid diagnostic test did not reduce... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Seasonal increases in malaria continue in hotspots in Zanzibar. Mass screening and treatment (MSAT) may help reduce the reservoir of infection; however, it is unclear whether rapid diagnos
Surveillance and response: tools and approaches for the elimination stage of neglected tropical diseases (Publications)
The presentation of the World Health Organization (WHO)'s Roadmap for neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) in January 2012 raised optimism that many NTDs can indeed be eliminated. To make this happen, t
