Molecular characterization and distribution of <em>Schistosoma</em> cercariae collected from naturally infected bulinid snails in northern and central... (Publications)
identification of schistosome species infecting intermediate host snails is important for understanding parasite transmission, schistosomiasis control and elimination. Cercariae emerging from infected snails cannot
Two cases of long‑lasting, sub‑microscopic <em>Plasmodium malariae</em> infections in adults from coastal Tanzania (Publications)
malariae infections are often characterized by a relatively mild illness with a low number of parasites, which can persist for long periods. In this report, two cases of P. malariae infections that were
Oxantel pamoate-albendazole for <em>Trichuris trichiura</em> infection (Publications)
lumbricoides, hookworm, and Trichuris trichiura) are widespread and often occur concomitantly. These parasitic-worm infections are typically treated with albendazole or mebendazole, but both drugs show low efficacy
Effect of strategic gastrointestinal nematode control on fertility and mortality of N'Dama cattle in The Gambia (Publications)
calves are discussed. We can conclude that in the present epidemiological situation and the given parasite spectrum, gastro-intestinal nematodes mainly affect host fertility. Strategic control of gastro
The incidence and differential seasonal patterns of <em>Plasmodium vivax </em>primary infections and relapses in a cohort of children in Papua New... (Publications)
Plasmodium vivax has the ability to relapse from dormant parasites in the liver weeks or months after inoculation, causing further blood-stage infection and potential onward transmission. Estimates of
