Geographical and temporal structures of <em>Legionella pneumophila</em> sequence types in Comunitat Valenciana (Spain), 1998 to 2013 (Publications)
Legionella pneumophila is an accidental human pathogen associated with aerosol formation in water-related sources. High recombination rates make Legionella populations genetically diverse, and nearly
Synthesis and antiprotozoal activities of new 3-azabicyclo[3.2.2]nonanes (Publications)
Some antimalarial agents in use typically bear basic side chains as ligands. Such ligands were attached to the amino substituent of a bridgehead atom of already antiprotozoal active 3-azabicyclo[3.2.2
A new nonpolar N-hydroxy imidazoline lead compound with improved activity in a murine model of late stage <em>Trypanosoma brucei brucei</em> infection... (Publications)
Treatment of late-stage sleeping sickness requires drugs that can cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to reach the parasites located in the brain. We report here the synthesis and evaluation of four n
Identification and deconvolution of cross-resistance signals from antimalarial compounds using multidrug-resistant <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em>... (Publications)
Plasmodium falciparum, the most deadly malaria agent, displays a wide variety of resistance mechanisms in the field. The ability of antimalarial compounds in development to overcome these must therefo
Synthesis and evaluation of phenoxymethylbenzamide analogues as anti-trypanosomal agents (Publications)
The synthesis and anti-trypanosomal activity of a compound library based on a phenoxymethylbenzamide hit discovered in a high throughput screen is described. Several of the analogues exhibited potent
Diagnostic accuracy of a LAMP kit for diagnosis of imported malaria in Switzerland (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of acute malaria in non-endemic countries is still carried out largely by microscopic examination of thick and thin smears or rapid diagnostic tests. Low-density infections m
Impact of malaria pre-exposure on anti-parasite cellular and humoral immune responses after controlled human malaria infection (Publications)
To understand the effect of previous malaria exposure on anti-parasite immune responses is important for developing successful immunization strategies. Controlled human malaria infections (CHMI) using
Parasitic worms: knowledge, attitudes, and practices in western Côte d'Ivoire with implications for integrated control (Publications)
BACKGROUND: In the developing world where parasitic worm infections are pervasive, preventive chemotherapy is the key strategy for morbidity control. However, local knowledge, attitudes, and practices
