The microbiome antibiotic resistome: significant strategies toward microbiome-targeted therapeutic interventions in medicine (Publications)
Antibiotic resistance/drug resistance occurs in some, or less commonly all, subpopulations of microbes, usually bacteria, which can survive after exposure to one or more antibiotic environments. A mic
Europe-wide high-spatial resolution air pollution models are improved by including traffic flow estimates on all roads (Publications)
Road traffic is an important source of noise and air pollution. Modelling of air pollution and noise therefore requires detailed information on annual average daily traffic (AADT) flows on all roads.
Pilot use of a mycolactone-specific lateral flow assay for <em>Buruli ulcer</em>: a case report from Japan (Publications)
Buruli ulcer, caused by Mycobacterium (M.) ulcerans, is a neglected tropical disease (NTD) characterized by necrosis of the cutaneous tissue, predominantly affecting the limbs. The pathogenesis of thi
Surveillance of global, travel-related illness using a novel app: a multivariable, cross-sectional study (Publications)
INTRODUCTION: Current traveller health surveillance is 'top-down'. Mobile-based surveillance could capture infection symptoms in real time. We aimed to evaluate the spectrum of illness in travellers u
Sanitation in urban areas may limit the spread of antimicrobial resistance via flies (Publications)
Synanthropic filth flies are common where sanitation is poor and fecal wastes are accessible to them. These flies have been proposed as mechanical vectors for the localized transport of fecal microbes
Evaluation of malaria rapid diagnostic test performance and <em>pfhrp2</em> deletion in Tanzania school surveys, 2017 (Publications)
As part of malaria nationwide monitoring and evaluation initiatives, there is an increasing trend of incorporating malaria rapid diagnostic tests (mRDTs) in surveys conducted within primary schools to
Global, regional, and national burden of meningitis and its aetiologies, 1990-2019: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Although meningitis is largely preventable, it still causes hundreds of thousands of deaths globally each year. WHO set ambitious goals to reduce meningitis cases by 2030, and assessing tr
Disentangling associations between multiple environmental exposures and all-cause mortality: an analysis of European administrative and traditional... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: We evaluated the independent and joint effects of air pollution, land/built environment characteristics, and ambient temperature on all-cause mortality as part of the EXPANSE project. METH
Consensus definitions in imported human schistosomiasis: a GeoSentinel and TropNet Delphi study (Publications)
Terminology in schistosomiasis is not harmonised, generating misunderstanding in data interpretation and clinical descriptions. This study aimed to achieve consensus on definitions of clinical aspects
