Advances with the Chinese anthelminthic drug tribendimidine in clinical trials and laboratory investigations (Publications)
The anthelminthic drug tribendimidine has been approved by Chinese authorities for human use in 2004, and a first comprehensive review was published in Acta Tropica in 2005. Here, we summarise further
Analysis of subtelomeric virulence gene families in <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> by comparative transcriptional profiling (Publications)
The Plasmodium falciparum genome is equipped with several subtelomeric gene families that are implicated in parasite virulence and immune evasion. Members of these families are uniformly positioned wi
An approach to classifying human resources constraints to attaining health-related Millennium Development Goals (Publications)
BACKGROUND: For any wide-ranging effort to scale up health-related priority interventions, human resources for health (HRH) are likely to be a key to success. This study explores constraints related t
<em>Schistosoma japonicum</em>: in vitro effects of artemether combined with haemin depend on cultivation media and appraisal of artemether products... (Publications)
We recently found that the exposure of schistosomes in vitro to artemether plus haemin can lead to parasite death, while exposure to each compound singly had no effect. Since these observations might
Effect of combined treatment with praziquantel and artemether on <em>Schistosoma japonicum </em>and<em> Schistosoma mansoni</em> in experimentally... (Publications)
Praziquantel and artemether are safe and efficacious antischistosomal drugs that act against different developmental stages of the parasite: praziquantel against adult worms and artemether against sch
The potential of artemether for the control of schistosomiasis (Publications)
Schistosomiasis continues to rank - following malaria - at the second position of the world's parasitic diseases in terms of the extent of endemic areas and the number of infected people. There is yet
Line profile reconstruction: validation and comparison of reconstruction methods (Publications)
Currently, open path Fourier transform infrared (OP-FTIR) spectrometers have been applied in some fenceline monitoring, but their use has been limited because path-integrated concentration measurement
