Comparison of three in-house real PCR assays targeting kinetoplast DNA, the small subunit ribosomal RNA gene and the glucose-6-phosphate isomerase... (Publications)
To perform PCR from serum for the diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis is convenient and much less invasive than the examination of deeper compartments such as bone marrow. We compared three Leishmania
Niclosamide is active <em>in vitro</em> against mycetoma pathogens (Publications)
Redox-active drugs are the mainstay of parasite chemotherapy. To assess their repurposing potential for eumycetoma, we have tested a set of nitroheterocycles and peroxides in vitro against two isolate
Spatial clusters of daily tobacco consumption before and after a smoke-free policy implementation (Publications)
This study assessed the spatial dependence of daily tobacco consumption and how it is spatially impacted by individual and neighborhood socioeconomic determinants, and tobacco consumption facilities b
Unexpected ring‑opening of 2,3‑dihydropyridines (Publications)
The reaction of 2,3-dihydropyridines with sulfonyl halides surprisingly yielded open chain dienes with sulfonylimine structure. The products were specific out of several possible isomers and, therefor
Modifications and hybrids of 1,2,3,4‑tetrahydropyridinium salts and their antiprotozoal potencies (Publications)
The antiprotozoal activity of 1-benzyltetrahydropyridin-4-yliden iminium salts is reported. This paper describes the preparation of a series of analogs from dihydropyridines or dihydrothiopyrans as ed
Teaching and learning for change: analysis of a post‑graduate One Health program (Publications)
As problematized through the One Health concept, global health issues are defeating conventional disciplinary approaches since they unfold across various scientific domains and across all levels of so
Time to scale up molecular surveillance for anti-malarial drug resistance in sub-Saharan Africa (Publications)
Artemisinin resistance has emerged and spread in the Greater Mekong Sub-region (GMS), followed by artemisinin-based combination therapy failure, due to both artemisinin and partner drug resistance. Mo
Estimating intervention effectiveness in trials of malaria interventions with contamination (Publications)
Background In cluster randomized trials (CRTs) or stepped wedge cluster randomized trials (SWCRTs) of malaria interventions, mosquito movement leads to contamination between trial arms unless buffer z
The additive effect of interpregnancy interval and maternal body mass index on pregnancy induced hypertension in the U.S (Publications)
OBJECTIVES: The incidence of pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH), one of the most frequent causes of maternal and neonatal morbidity, has increased significantly in the U.S. in last two decades. Howe
