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

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
Inhibition of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> Hsp90 contributes to the antimalarial activities of aminoalcohol-carbazoles (Publications)
Malaria caused by the protozoan parasite Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) remains a major public health problem throughout the developing world. One molecular target that should receive more attention is the
Differential infectivity of Plasmodium for mosquitoes (Publications)
The four human malarias - Plasmodium falciparum, P. vivax, P. ovale and P. malariaecan - canonly be transmitted by mosquitoes of the genus Anopheles, although not all species (nor all strains) of these
