Lung function-associated exposome profile in the era of climate change: pooled analysis of 8 population-based European cohorts within the EXPANSE... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The independent and interrelated long-term effects of the exposome such as air pollution, greenness, and ambient temperature on lung function are not well understood, yet relevant in the l
The developmental lipidome of <em>Nippostrongylus brasiliensis</em> (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Nippostrongylus brasiliensis-a nematode of rodents-is commonly used as a model to study the immunobiology of parasitic nematodes. It is a member of the Strongylida-a large order of socioec
<em>In vitro</em> antischistosomal activity of <em>Artemisia</em> species (Publications)
Praziquantel is currently the only effective treatment for schistosomiasis, but several limitations underscore the need for new therapeutic agents. Recent promising in vitro results with Artemisia spe
Spatial and temporal characteristics of laboratory-induced <em>Anopheles coluzzii</em> swarms: shape, structure, and flight kinematics (Publications)
Malaria mosquitoes mate in swarms, but how these swarms are formed and maintained remains poorly understood. We characterized three-dimensional spatiotemporal flight kinematics of Anopheles coluzzii m
Travel to malaria-endemic areas: using digital geo-location to assess potential exposure risks and health behaviours (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Travellers frequently visit popular destinations like Brazil, India, Peru, Thailand, and Tanzania, each presenting varying malaria risks. The extent to which travellers enter high-risk mal
Excess mortality during COVID-19 pandemic in Bangladesh: evidence from a rural survey (Publications)
BACKGROUND: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) had a profound impact worldwide. In Bangladesh, the official number of deaths for COVID-19 was around 29 000. However, many countries including Bang
Vaccination against dengue fever for travellers (Publications)
Dengue fever, endemic to most tropical and subtropical countries, is a major cause of illness in travellers, but severe dengue, hospitalisation and death are considered rare in this population. Two va
Mixed pesticide sources identified by using wastewater tracers in rivers of South African agricultural catchments (Publications)
The agriculturally dominated region of the Western Cape, South Africa is vulnerable to pesticide pollution. A 2017-2019 pesticide monitoring campaign in the agricultural catchments of Grabouw, Piketbe
The <em>Plasmodium falciparum</em> histone methyltransferase PfSET10 is dispensable for the regulation of antigenic variation and gene expression in... (Publications)
The malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum employs antigenic variation of the virulence factor P. falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1) to escape adaptive immune responses during blood in
Single- and two-pollutant concentration-response functions for PM2.5 and NO2 for quantifying mortality burden in health impact assessments (Publications)
OBJECTIVE: Health Impact Assessments (HIAs) for air pollutant mixtures are challenging because risk estimates are primarily derived from single-pollutant models. Combining risk estimates from multiple
