Design, synthesis, and evaluation of 5'-diphenyl nucleoside analogues as inhibitors of the <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> dUTPase (Publications)
Deoxyuridine 5'-triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase (dUTPase) is a potential drug target for malaria. We previously reported some 5'-tritylated deoxyuridine analogues (both cyclic and acyclic) as selective

Immunoglobulin kappa light-chain V, J, and C gene sequences of the owl monkey <em>Aotus nancymaae</em> (Publications)
supports the proposal to use the Aotus Plasmodium falciparum infection model for the evaluation of malaria vaccine candidates
Abnormal blood glucose concentrations on admission to a rural Kenyan district hospital: prevalence and outcome (Publications)
a on admission was 7.3%. Severe illness, malnutrition, last meal > 12 hours ago, and a positive malaria slide were independently associated with hypoglycaemia. Overall, mortality in hypoglycaemic children
QSAR guided synthesis of simplified antiplasmodial analogs of naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids (Publications)
pharmacologic properties make them suitable lead structures for new agents, in particular against malaria. Since these natural products are not easy to isolate in sufficient quantities or to synthesize
Vector-borne diseases in humans and animals: activities of the Swiss Tropical Institut and risks for Switzerland (Publications)
This overview presents the Swiss Tropical Institute's (STI) activities on vector-borne diseases (malaria, trypanosomosis, and leishmaniosis in humans and tick-borne diseases in livestock), describes the
Trypanocidal activity of diarylheptanoids from <em>Schrankia leptocarpa</em> DC (Publications)
Schrankia leptocara is a medicinal species use traditionally in Benin to treat malaria. A previous study showed interesting antimalarial activity against two strains of Plasmodium falciparum. Phytochemical
<em>In silico</em> guided reconstruction and analysis of ICAM-1-binding var genes from <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> (Publications)
the surface of infected erythrocytes is thought to play a major role in the pathology of severe malaria. As the sequence pool of the var genes encoding PfEMP1 expands there are opportunities, despite the
