Evidence that <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> chromosome end clusters are cross-linked by protein and are the sites of both virulence gene silencing... (Publications)
The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum undergoes antigenic variation through allelic exclusion and variant expression of surface proteins encoded by the var gene family. Regulation of var genes is
Ultrasonography of gallbladder abnormalities due to schistosomiasis (Publications)
After malaria, schistosomiasis remains the most important tropical parasitic disease in large parts of the world. Schistosomiasis has recently re-emerged in Southern Europe. Intestinal schistosomiasis
Detection of pathogens of acute febrile illness using polymerase chain reaction from dried blood spots (Publications)
1% specificity against the whole blood qPCR cutoff of 21 that has been previously suggested for malaria diagnosis. For other pathogens investigated, DBS testing yielded a sensitivity of only 8.5% but a

insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) delivered to malaria-endemic countries is conducted by measuring physiochemical parameters, but not bioefficacy against malaria mosquitoes. This study explored utility of
Gene Coverage Count and Classification (GC3): a locus sequence coverage assessment tool using short-read whole genome sequencing data, and its... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The ability of malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) to effectively detect active infections is being compromised by the presence of malaria strains with genomic deletions at the hrp2 and hrp3
Expression of the MSPDBL2 antigen in a discrete subset of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> schizonts is regulated by GDV1 but may not be linked to... (Publications)
requires further investigation in natural infections where it is under immune selection. IMPORTANCE: Malaria parasites in the blood are remarkably variable, able to switch antigenic targets so they may survive [...] developed specific immune responses. This is one of the challenges in developing vaccines against malaria. MSPDBL2 is a target of naturally acquired immunity expressed in minority proportions of schizonts

Furthermore, survival of malaria transmitting Anopheles mosquitoes is strongly decreased after feeding on humans recently treated [...] . Currently, mass drug administration of ivermectin is under investigation as a potential novel malaria vector control tool to reduce Plasmodium transmission by mosquitoes. A "post-ivermectin effect" has
Relationship between insecticide resistance profiles in <em>Anopheles gambiae</em> <em>sensu lato</em> and agricultural practices in Côte... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Insecticide-based malaria vector control is increasingly undermined due to the development of insecticide resistance in mosquitoes. Insecticide resistance may partially be related to the use [...] s between the type of agricultural practices and certain insecticide resistance profiles in the malaria vector An. gambiae s.l. which might arise from the use of pesticides deployed for protecting crops
