Dynamics of anemia in relation to parasitic infections, micronutrient status, and growing age in south-central Côte d'Ivoire (Publications)
Background. Parasitic diseases (e.g., malaria and helminthiases) exert enormous burdens on public health and social wellbeing. Moreover, parasitic infections are important causes of anemia in tropical
Insecticide resistance and its association with target-site mutations in natural populations of <em>Anopheles gambiae</em> from eastern Uganda (Publications)
Insecticide resistance in Anopheles gambiae threatens the success of malaria vector control programmes in sub-Saharan Africa. In order to manage insecticide resistance successfully, it is essential to
Plasma and exhaled breath condensate nitrite-nitrate level in relation to environmental exposures in adults in the EGEA study (Publications)
This study evaluated the associations between biological markers in the nitrate-nitrite-NO pathway and four environmental exposures among subjects examined in the second survey (2003-2007) of the Fren
The <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> family of Rab GTPases (Publications)
Rab GTPases are key regulators of vesicular traffic in eukaryotic cells. Here we sought a global characterization and description of the Plasmodium falciparum family of Rab GTPases. We used a combinat
A review of bovine tuberculosis at the wildlife-livestock-human interface in sub-Saharan Africa (Publications)
SUMMARY Infection of wild animals by bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is raising concern worldwide. This article reviews the current epidemiological situation, risk of emergence and control options at the wi
Distinguishing social and cultural features of cholera in urban and rural areas of Western Kenya: implications for public health (Publications)
Abstract Urban and rural areas have distinctive health problems, which require consideration. To examine sociocultural features of cholera and its community context, a semi-structured explanatory mode
Effect of nocturnal road traffic noise exposure and annoyance on objective and subjective sleep quality (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Various epidemiological studies have found an association between noise exposure and sleep quality, but the mediating role of annoyance is unclear for this association. OBJECTIVES: To inve
Potent antimalarial 1,2,4-trioxanes through perhydrolysis of epoxides (Publications)
Perhydrolysis of a sterically congested multifunctional epoxide was achieved in ethereal H2 O2 with the aid of a recently developed Mo catalyst. The resulting hydroperoxide cyclized to give a 1,2,4-tr
<em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> mutation rate estimates from different lineages predict substantial differences in the emergence of drug-resistant... (Publications)
A key question in tuberculosis control is why some strains of M. tuberculosis are preferentially associated with resistance to multiple drugs. We demonstrate that M. tuberculosis strains from lineage
