disease are old, expensive, and associated with other problems including safety and drug resistant parasites. Therefore, there is an urgent need for the development of new, effective, cheap, and safe drugs
Comparison of a new IgG-EIA for the detection of anti-plasmodium antibodies with two currently used assays (Publications)
Background: Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Plasmodium. As migration of populations from endemic areas to Europe and overseas recreational travel

<em>Anopheles plumbeus</em> (Diptera: Culicidae) in Europe: a mere nuisance mosquito or potential malaria vector? (Publications)
current populations of An. plumbeus would be able to efficiently transmit Plasmodium falciparum, the parasite responsible for the most deadly form of malaria. METHODS: Anopheles plumbeus immatures were collected

Prevalence and risk factors of helminths and intestinal protozoa infections among children from primary schools in western Tajikistan (Publications)
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Intestinal parasitic infections represent a public health problem in Tajikistan, but epidemiological evidence is scarce. The present study aimed at assessing the extent of helminths
