Historic air pollution exposure and long-term mortality risks in England and Wales: prospective longitudinal cohort study (Publications)
INTRODUCTION: Long-term air pollution exposure contributes to mortality but there are few studies examining effects of very long-term (> 25 years) exposures. METHODS: This study investigated modelled

Experiences with a voluntary surveillance system for early detection of equine diseases in Switzerland (Publications)
Clinical observations made by practitioners and reported using web- and mobile-based technologies may benefit disease surveillance by improving the timeliness of outbreak detection. Equinella is a vol
Traffic-related air pollution, noise at school, and behavioral problems in Barcelona schoolchildren: a cross-sectional study (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The available evidence of the effects of air pollution and noise on behavioral development is limited, and it overlooks exposure at schools, where children spend a considerable amount of t
Health impacts of active transportation in Europe (Publications)

<em>In vitro</em> activity of anti-malarial ozonides against an artemisinin-resistant isolate (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Recently published data suggest that artemisinin derivatives and synthetic peroxides, such as the ozonides OZ277 and OZ439, have a similar mode of action. Here the cross-resistance of OZ27
Multiplicity of <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> infection following intermittent preventive treatment in infants (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Intermittent preventive treatment in infants with sulphadoxine-pyrimethamine (IPTi-SP) reduces malaria morbidity by 20% to 33%. Potentially, however, this intervention may compromise the a
