ivermectin, nitazoxanide, levamisole or oxantel pamoate at 37[degree sign]C. The viability of the parasites was evaluated microscopically after 24 hours. The usefulness of fluorescent markers (resazurin,
Rosetting in <em>Plasmodium vivax</em>: a cytoadhesion phenotype associated with anaemia (Publications)
peripheral isolates from pregnant women do not exhibit a prominent adhesion to CSA, although other parasite phenotypes still unknown may increase the propagation of certain P. vivax clones observed among

Detectability of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> clones (Publications)
the 48-hour periodicity of P. falciparum. The results suggest that the detectability of a given parasite clone changes over time, at an unknown rate, but fast enough to regard blood samples taken one week
Selection of mosquito life-histories: a hidden weapon against malaria? (Publications)
driving selection for a shift in mosquito life history that reduces their ability to transmit malaria parasites. Specifically it is hypothesized that by substantially increasing the extrinsic rate of mortality
A literature review of economic evaluations for a neglected tropical disease: human African trypanosomiasis ("sleeping sickness") (Publications)
Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) is a disease caused by infection with the parasite Trypanosoma brucei gambiense or T. b. rhodesiense. It is transmitted to humans via the tsetse fly. Approximately 70
