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

Identification of a new chemical class of antimalarials (Publications)
The increasing spread of drug-resistant malaria strains underscores the need for new antimalarial agents with novel modes of action (MOAs). Here, we describe a compound representative of a new class of

Limited polymorphism in <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> sexual-stage antigens (Publications)
In areas highly endemic for malaria, individuals are frequently found to be infected simultaneously with multiple Plasmodium falciparum clones. This raises the question of whether all parasite clones produce
