Multiparasitism and intensity of helminth infections in relation to symptoms and nutritional status among children: a cross-sectional study in... (Publications)
The occurrence and spatial distribution of intestinal helminth infection in children is fairly well understood. However, knowledge on how helminth infections govern intestinal morbidity is scarce. We
Effect of long-term outdoor air pollution and noise on cognitive and psychological functions in adults (Publications)
It has been hypothesized that air pollution and ambient noise might impact neurocognitive function. Early studies mostly investigated the associations of air pollution and ambient noise exposure with
A low-cost mesocosm for the study of behaviour and reproductive potential in Afrotropical mosquito (Diptera: Culicidae) vectors of malaria (Publications)
A large-scale mesocosm was constructed and tested for its effectiveness for use in experiments on behaviour, reproduction and adult survivorship in the Afrotropical malaria vector Anopheles gambiae s.
Progress in research, control and elimination of helminth infections in Asia (Publications)
Global health has substantially improved over the past 20 years. In low- and middle-income countries, in particular, great strives have been made in the control of communicable diseases, including hel
Antiprotozoal activity and DNA binding of dicationic acridones (Publications)
Dicationic acridone derivatives were synthesized and their antiparasitic activity was evaluated. Acridones displayed in vitro nanomolar IC50 values against Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense STIB900 with
Evolutionary history and global spread of the <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> Beijing lineage (Publications)
Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains of the Beijing lineage are globally distributed and are associated with the massive spread of multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis in Eurasia. Here we reconstructe
