activity at low micromolar concentrations, with varied degrees of selectivity against L-6 cells. Compound 5a was found to be the most active against P. falciparum, with an IC50 value of 90 nM and good selectivity
Prevalence and risk factors for carriage of multi-drug resistant <em>Staphylococci</em> in healthy cats and dogs (Publications)
with an increased risk of colonisation by multi-drug resistant Staphylococci (OR = 2.4, 95% CI: 1.1 5.2, p value LRT = 0.04). When identifying efficient control strategies against antibiotic resistance
Evaluating decontamination protocols for the isolation of <em>Mycobacterium ulcerans</em> from swabs (Publications)
potential decontamination agents for the isolation of M. ulcerans from swabs. RESULTS: Povidone iodine at 0.5 and 1% exhibited the lowest contamination and recovery rate for microbial contaminants and M. ulcerans
Benefit-cost analysis of coordinated strategies for control of rabies in Africa (Publications)
countries and PEP would lead to the elimination of dog rabies in Africa with total welfare gains of USD 9.5 billion (95% CI: 8.1 - 11.4 billion) between 2024 and 2054 (30 years). Coordinated disease control between

phenotype towards PPQ. In this parasite isolate, incomplete growth inhibition translated to only a 2.5-fold increase in IC(50) but a dramatic decrease of parasite killing in the PRR assay. Hence, this pilot
Urinalysis as a noninvasive health screening procedure in Falconidae (Publications)
collected from 78 mature (> 1 year) and immature (6-12 months) male and female falcons belonging to 5 species. Droppings were assessed visually for urate color and consistency and color of the liquid urine
Identification and characterization of the three members of the CLC family of anion transport proteins in<em> Trypanosoma brucei</em> (Publications)
currents. Currents are sensitive to low concentrations of DIDS, insensitive to the pH in the range 5.4 to 8.4 and larger in nitrate than in chloride medium.
