Pharmacokinetic comparison to determine the mechanisms underlying the differential efficacies of cationic diamidines against first- and second-stage... (Publications)
Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), a neglected tropical disease, is fatal without treatment. Pentamidine, a cationic diamidine, has been used to treat first-stage (hemolymphatic) HAT since the 1940s
Characterisation of a melamino nitroheterocycle as a potential lead for the treatment of human African trypanosomiasis (Publications)
This paper reports an evaluation of a melamine-nitroheterocycle, a potential lead for further development as an agent against human African trypanosomiasis (HAT). Studies on its efficacy, physicochemi
A tradition and an epidemic: determinants of the campylobacteriosis winter peak in Switzerland (Publications)
Campylobacteriosis is the most frequently reported food borne infection in Switzerland. We investigated determinants of infections and illness experience in wintertime. A case-control study was conduc
The search for underlying principles of health impact assessment: progress and prospects: comment on "Investigating underlying principles to guide... (Publications)
Health Impact Assessment (HIA) is a relatively young field of endeavour, and hence, future progress will depend on the planning, implementation and rigorous evaluation of additional HIAs of projects,
A <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> PHIST protein binds the virulence factor PfEMP1 and comigrates to knobs on the host cell surface (Publications)
Uniquely among malaria parasites, Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes (iRBCs) develop membrane protrusions, known as knobs, where the parasite adhesion receptor P. falciparum erythrocyte membr
