A <em>var</em> gene promoter controls allelic exclusion of virulence genes in <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> malaria (Publications)
Mono-allelic expression of gene families is used by many organisms to mediate phenotypic variation of surface proteins. In the apicomplexan parasite Plasmodium falciparum, responsible for the severe f
Cyclic nucleotide-specific phosphodiesterases of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em>: PfPDEalpha, a non-essential cGMP-specific PDE that is an integral... (Publications)
Cyclic nucleotide-specific phosphodiesterases (PDEs) have come into focus as interesting potential targets for PDE inhibitor-based anti-parasitic drugs. Genomes of the various agents of human malaria,
Relationship between gender role, anger expression, thermal discomfort and sleep onset latency in women (Publications)
Background: Women with thermal discomfort from cold extremities (hands and feet; TDCE) often suffer from prolonged sleep onset latency (SOL). Suppressed anger could contribute to the genesis of both T
New treatment option for second stage African sleeping sickness: In vitro and in vivo efficacy of aza analogs of DB289 (Publications)
African sleeping sickness is a fatal parasitic disease and all drugs currently in use for treatment have strong liabilities. It is essential to find new, effective and less toxic drugs ideally with or
Identification of fecal input sites in spring water by selection and genotyping of multiresistant <em>Escherichia coli</em> (Publications)
The localization of fecal input sites is important for water quality management. For this purpose, we have developed a new approach based on a three-step procedure, including a preparatory phase, the
