System level metabolic effects of a <em>Schistosoma japonicum </em>infection in the Syrian hamster (Publications)
A metabolic profiling strategy was used to investigate the metabolic responses of Syrian hamsters (SLAC) to a Schistosoma japonicum infection using high resolution (1)H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR
Bayesian geostatistical modelling for mapping schistosomiasis transmission (Publications)
Progress has been made in mapping and predicting the risk of schistosomiasis using Bayesian geostatistical inference. Applications primarily focused on risk profiling of prevalence rather than infecti
Evaluation of methods for modeling transcription factor sequence specificity (Publications)
Genomic analyses often involve scanning for potential transcription factor (TF) binding sites using models of the sequence specificity of DNA binding proteins. Many approaches have been developed to m
The value of [18F]FDG-PET in the diagnosis of large-vessel vasculitis and the assessment of activity and extent of disease (Publications)
PURPOSE: This study was performed to investigate the value of( 18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography ([(18)F]FDG-PET) in the diagnosis of large-vessel vasculitis and the assessment of a
Potential impact of climate change on schistosomiasis transmission in China (Publications)
Appraisal of the present and future impact of climate change and climate variability on the transmission of infectious diseases is a complex but pressing public health issue. We developed a biology-dr
Significant geographical differences in prevalence of mutations associated with <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> and <em>Plasmodium vivax</em> drug... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Drug resistance remains a major obstacle to malaria treatment and control. It can arise and spread rapidly, and vary substantially even at sub-national level. National malaria programmes r
The effect of iron-fortified complementary food and intermittent preventive treatment of malaria on anaemia in 12- to 36-month-old children: a... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Iron deficiency (ID) and malaria co-exist in tropical regions and both contribute to high rates of anaemia in young children. It is unclear whether iron fortification combined with intermi
