Intersectoral collaboration between the medical and veterinary professions in low-resource societies: the role of research and training institutions (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Neglected zoonoses continue to significantly affect human health in low-resource countries. A symposium was organised in Antwerp, Belgium, on 5 November 2010 to evaluate how intersectoral
Molecular markers of in vivo <em>Plasmodium vivax</em> resistance to amodiaquine plus sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine: mutations in pvdhfr and pvmdr1 (Publications)
Background. @nbsp; Molecular markers for sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) resistance in Plasmodium vivax have been reported. However, data on the molecular correlates involved in the development of resi
Mathematical modelling of mosquito dispersal in a heterogeneous environment (Publications)
Mosquito dispersal is a key behavioural factor that affects the persistence and resurgence of several vector-borne diseases. Spatial heterogeneity of mosquito resources, such as hosts and breeding sit
Helminth infections of the central nervous system occurring in Southeast Asia and the Far East (Publications)
Although helminth infections of the central nervous system (CNS) are rare, their public health implications must not be neglected. Indeed, several helminth species can cause cerebrospinal infections,
The protective effect of farm milk consumption on childhood asthma and atopy: The GABRIELA study (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Farm milk consumption has been identified as an exposure that might contribute to the protective effect of farm life on childhood asthma and allergies. The mechanism of action and the role
Identification of an <em>Onchocerca volvulus</em> cDNA encoding a low-molecular-weight antigen uniquely recognized by onchocerciasis patient sera (Publications)
The primary structure of an immunodominant antigen of the filarial parasite, Onchocerca volvulus was deduced from cDNA sequence analysis. Using affinity-purified antibody from onchocerciasis patients
