Evaluation of <em>in vitro</em> antiprotozoal activity of <em>Ajuga laxmannii </em>and its secondary metabolites (Publications)
Context Some Ajuga L. (Lamiaceae) species are traditionally used for the treatment of malaria, as well as fever, which is a common symptom of many parasitic diseases. Objective In the continuation of our
A sero-epidemiological approach to explore transmission of <em>Mycobacterium ulcerans</em> (Publications)
Ghana were included in the study. While first serological responses to the mosquito transmitted malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum and to soil transmitted Strongyloides helminths emerged around the
Diagnosis of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> infection using ParaSight(R)-F test in blood and urine of Papua New Guinean children (Publications)
Rapid, simple, accurate and cheap methods are required for the diagnosis of malaria in endemic areas. The ParaSight(R)-F test, which is based on qualitative detection by monoclonal antibody of the Plasmodium

activity against the chloroquine-sensitive NF54 and multi-drug resistant K1 strains of the human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum. All compounds were active against the two strains, generally showing
Cytochrome P450/ABC transporter inhibition simultaneously enhances ivermectin pharmacokinetics in the mammal host and pharmacodynamics in... (Publications)
drugs that kill blood-feeding arthropods, has been proposed as a complementary strategy to reduce malaria transmission. Ivermectin is one of the leading candidates given its excellent safety profile. Here
A generic schema and data collection forms applicable to diverse entomological studies of mosquitoes (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Standardized schemas, databases, and public data repositories are needed for the studies of malaria vectors that encompass a remarkably diverse array of designs and rapidly generate large data volumes
Sustaining LLIN coverage with continuous distribution: the school net programme in Tanzania (Publications)
Most malaria-endemic countries have struggled in the past decade to establish effective national-scale continuous distribution mechanisms for long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs). Since the implementation
Evidence for limited activation of distinct CD4+ T cell subsets in response to the <em>Plasmodium falciparum </em>circumsporozoite protein in Papua... (Publications)
In this study, we have studied cellular and humoral responses of individuals naturally exposed to malaria in a highly endemic region of Papua New Guinea to the circumsporozoite protein of Plasmodium falciparum
Identification and deconvolution of cross-resistance signals from antimalarial compounds using multidrug-resistant <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em>... (Publications)
Plasmodium falciparum, the most deadly malaria agent, displays a wide variety of resistance mechanisms in the field. The ability of antimalarial compounds in development to overcome these must therefore
Differences in affinity of monoclonal and naturally acquired polyclonal antibodies against <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> merozoite antigens (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Malaria is a major global cause of deaths and a vaccine is urgently needed. RESULTS: We have employed the P. falciparum merozoite antigens MSP2-3D7/FC27 and AMA1, used them in ELISA, and coupled
