Comparative assessment of fluorescence polarization and tuberculin skin testing for the diagnosis of bovine tuberculosis in Chadian cattle (Publications)
Significantly more Mbororo zebus (15.0%) were affected by lesions than Arab zebus (9.9%; OR=2.20, CI: 1.41-3.41%; p 2mm. SICCT reactor prevalence rose to 15.5% (CI: 13.3-18.0%) and FPA did not perform better
Lack of association between the polyadenylation polymorphism in the NAT1 (acetyltransferase 1) gene and colorectal adenomas (Publications)
acetylator allele (odds ratio 1.04; 95% confidence interval 0.79-1.36), nor a gene-gene interaction between NA1 and NAT2 (P(interaction) = 0.59). Further NAT1 alleles must be considered for more conclusive
Effect of repeated application of microbial larvicides on malaria transmission in central Côte d'Ivoire (Publications)
breeding sites over a 7-month period. Microbial larvicides were applied once every 3 wk; first Bti (0.8 mg/liter), followed by Bs (10 mg/liter) 3-4 days later. Adult mosquitoes were collected inside and [...] Moreover, the entomologic inoculation rate of An. funestus was significantly reduced (from 328 to 142, P = 0.005), whereas that of An. gambiae remained stable. In conclusion, microbial larvicides might play a
Comparative embryotoxicity of different antimalarial peroxides: in vitro study using the rat whole embryo culture model (WEC) (Publications)

Risk of infection and associated influenza-like disease among abattoir workers due to two Leptospira species (Publications)
infection risk was higher in sheep abattoirs (11.9%) than in abattoirs processing deer (0%) or cattle (1.2%) (P < 0.01). The annualized risk of mild (ILI) or severe clinical disease attributable to the two

If I tweet will you cite later? Follow-up on the effect of social media exposure on article downloads and citations (Publications)
There was no difference between intervention and control group in terms of downloads (p = 0.72) and citations (p= 0.30) for all papers and when we stratified by open access status. CONCLUSIONS: Longer observation
