Consistently high estimates for the proportion of human exposure to malaria vector populations occurring indoors in rural Africa (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) are highly effective tools for controlling malaria transmission in Africa because the most important vectors, from the An
Cost-effectiveness of malaria intermittent preventive treatment in infants (IPTi) in Mozambique and the United Republic of Tanzania (Publications)
OBJECTIVE: To estimate the cost-effectiveness of malaria intermittent preventive treatment in infants (IPTi) using sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP). METHODS: In two previous IPTi trials in Ifakara (Unit
PM10 and children's respiratory symptoms and lung function in the PATY study (Publications)
Studies of the impact of long-term exposure to outdoor air pollution on prevalence of respiratory symptoms and lung function in children have yielded mixed results, partly related to differences in st
Synthesis and structure-activity relationships of new quinolone-type molecules against <em>Trypanosoma brucei</em> (Publications)
Human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) or sleeping sickness is caused by two subspecies of Trypanosoma brucei , Trypanosoma brucei gambiense , and Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense and is one of Africa's ol
Effect of single nucleotide polymorphisms in cytochrome P450 isoenzyme and N-acetyltransferase-2 genes on the metabolism of artemisinin-based... (Publications)
The pharmacogenetics of antimalarials is poorly known, although its application might be critical to optimize treatment. This population pharmacokinetic-pharmacogenetic study aimed at assessing the ef
Characterization of invasive and colonizing isolates of <em>Streptococcus agalactiae</em> in East African adults (Publications)
95 colonizing and 74 invasive Streptococcus agalactiae isolates from Kenyan adults were characterized using capsular serotyping and multilocus sequence typing. 22 sequence types clustering into five c
Evaluation of the discriminatory power of variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) typing of <em>Mycobacterium bovis</em> strains (Publications)
The discriminatory power of variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) typing based on 16 known loci (12 MIRUs, 3 ETRs and VNTR 3232) was assessed for Mycobacterium bovis strains collected sequentially at t
