European 1: a globally important clonal complex of <em>Mycobacterium bovis</em> (Publications)
We have identified a globally important clonal complex of Mycobacterium bovis by deletion analysis of over one thousand strains from over 30 countries. We initially show that over 99% of the strains o
High collection efficiency electrostatic precipitator for in vitro cell exposure to concentrated ambient particulate matter (PM) (Publications)
A new sampling system, the in vitro electrostatic collector, was developed to collect ambient particles for in vitro studies. The system consists of two units: first, particles are concentrated by mea
Electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) and subjective health complaints associated with electromagnetic fields of mobile phone communication--a... (Publications)
Literature published between 2000 to 2004 concerning electromagnetic fields (EMF) of mobile communication and electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) or unspecific symptoms of ill health, respectively,
National intestinal helminth survey among schoolchildren in Tajikistan: prevalences, risk factors and perceptions (Publications)
Solid evidence regarding the epidemiology of intestinal helminth infections in Tajikistan is currently lacking. As such information is essential for the evidence-based design, implementation and evalu
Determination of methoxyphenols in ambient atmospheric particulate matter: tracers for wood combustion (Publications)
Combustion of wood and other biomass fuels produces source-specific organic compounds arising from pyrolysis of lignin, including substantial amounts of 4-substituted methoxylated phenolic compounds (
Estimation of infection and recovery rates for highly polymorphic parasites when detectability is imperfect, using hidden Markov models (Publications)
A Bayesian hierarchical model is proposed for estimating parasitic infection dynamics for highly polymorphic parasites when detectability of the parasite using standard tests is imperfect. The parasit
