China's sustained drive to eliminate neglected tropical diseases (Publications)
Non-communicable diseases dominate the public health arena in China, yet neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are still widespread and create a substantial burden. We review the geographical distributio
Synthesis and antiparasitic activity of new bis-arylimidamides: DB766 analogs modfied in the terminal groups (Publications)
Fifteen novel bis-arylimidamide derivatives with various 6-membered (7a-c) and 5-membered (7d-o) heterocyclic rings replacing the terminal pyridyl rings of the lead compound DB766{(2,5-bis[2-i-propoxy
Probing the antimalarial mechanism of artemisinin and OZ277 (arterolane) with nonperoxidic isosteres and nitroxyl radicals (Publications)
Peroxidic antimalarials such as the semisynthetic artemisinins are critically important in the treatment of drug-resistant malaria. Nevertheless, their peroxide bond-dependent mode of action is still
Deletion in the gene BruAb2_0168 of <em>Brucella abortus</em> strains: diagnostic challenges (Publications)
Three Brucella abortus strains were isolated from joint hygromas from cows in northern Togo. Two deletions in the 5' side of the gene BruAb2_0168 were identified. As this gene is used for species iden
PolyTB: a genomic variation map for <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> (Publications)
Tuberculosis (TB) caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is the second major cause of death from an infectious disease worldwide. Recent advances in DNA sequencing are leading to the ability to ge
Epigenetic memory takes center stage in the survival strategy of malaria parasites (Publications)
Malaria parasites run through a complex life cycle in the vertebrate host and mosquito vector. This not only requires tightly controlled mechanisms to govern stage-specific gene expression but also ne
