   Spatial dispersion and characterisation of mosquito breeding habitats in urban vegetable-production areas of Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire

   Relevance:

   higher densities of mosquito breeding sites and, consequently, to increased transmission of malarial parasites. If targeted interventions against malaria vectors are to be successful in urban areas, the habitats

   <em>Schistosoma japonicum</em>: in vitro effects of artemether combined with haemin depend on cultivation media and appraisal of artemether products appearing in the media

   Relevance:

   recently found that the exposure of schistosomes in vitro to artemether plus haemin can lead to parasite death, while exposure to each compound singly had no effect. Since these observations might be relevant

   In vitro and in vivo activities of synthetic trioxolanes against major human schistosome species

   Relevance:

   Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease that remains of considerable public health significance in tropical and subtropical environments. Since the mainstay of schistosomiasis control is chemotherapy with

   Mortality due to Chagas disease in Brazil from 1979 to 2009: trends and regional differences

   Relevance:

   INTRODUCTION: Studies on mortality due to parasitic diseases such as Chagas disease are useful to understand the epidemiology and to plan and guide control measures for these diseases. We analyzed mortality
