The straw that breaks the camel's back: redirecting health-seeking behavior studies on malaria and vulnerability (Publications)
Development Goals, the focus on vulnerability and access to care has increasingly gained ground in the malaria social science literature. However, little emphasis has been given to the cumulative processes of
Preclinical profiling of the immunogenicity of a two-component subunit malaria vaccine candidate based on virosome technology (Publications)
anti-peptide responses, augmenting the value of this system for the development of a multivalent malaria vaccine
Structure-activity-based design of a synthetic malaria peptide eliciting sporozoite inhibitory antibodies in a virosomal formulation (Publications)
ozoite protein (CSP) of Plasmodium falciparum is a leading candidate antigen for inclusion in a malaria subunit vaccine. We describe here the design of a conformationally constrained synthetic peptide
Estimation of the sequestered parasite load in severe malaria patients using both host and parasite markers (Publications)
The virulence of the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum is due, in part, to its ability to cytoadhere in deep vascular beds. Our inability to quantify the load of sequestered parasites hampers our [...] patterns of peripheral parasite densities in a series of 22 patients with severe Plasmodium falciparum malaria. The markers comprised the host factors: haematocrit, circulating host DNA, sTNF-R75 and parasite
