Elimination of schistosomiasis mekongi from endemic areas in Cambodia and the Lao People's Democratic Republic: current status and plans (Publications)
The areas endemic for schistosomiasis in the Lao People's Democratic Republic and in Cambodia were first reported 50 and 60 years ago, respectively. However, the causative parasite Schistosoma mekongi
TB-diabetes co-morbidity in Ghana: the importance of <em>Mycobacterium africanum </em>infection (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a known risk factor for tuberculosis (TB) but little is known on TB-Diabetes Mellitus (TBDM) co-morbidity in Sub-Saharan Africa. METHODS: Consecutive TB cases reg
Whole genome sequencing for drug resistance profile prediction in<em> Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> (Publications)
Whole genome sequencing allows rapid detection of drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis isolates. However, the availability of high-quality data linking quantitative phenotypic drug susceptibility
Drug susceptibility testing and mortality in patients treated for tuberculosis in high-burden countries: a multicentre cohort study (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Drug resistance is a challenge for the global control of tuberculosis. We examined mortality in patients with tuberculosis from high-burden countries, according to concordance or discordan
Novel 1-methyl-1 <em>H</em>-pyrazole-5-carboxamide derivatives with potent anthelmintic activity (Publications)
A phenotypic screen of two different libraries of small molecules against the motility and development of the parasitic nematode Haemonchus contortus led to the identification of two 1-methyl-1 H-pyra
A prospective study on the impact and out-of-pocket costs of dengue illness in international travelers (Publications)
Although the costs of dengue illness to patients and households have been extensively studied in endemic populations, international travelers have not been the focus of costing studies. As globalizati
Malaria standby emergency treatment (SBET) for travelers visiting malaria endemic areas: a systematic review and meta-analysis (Publications)
Malaria prevention methods for travelers to low or moderate malaria risk areas varies and remains controversial. Standby Emergency Treatment (SBET) for malaria is one possible strategy increasingly re
Revised interpretation of the Hain Lifescience GenoType MTBC to differentiate <em>Mycobacterium canettii </em>and members of the <em>M. tuberculosis... (Publications)
Using 894 phylogenetically diverse genomes of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC), we simulated in silico the ability of the Hain Lifescience GenoType MTBC to differentiate the causative age
Highly heterogeneous residual malaria risk in western Thailand (Publications)
Over the past decades, the malaria burden in Thailand has substantially declined. Most infections now originate from the national border regions. In these areas, the prevalence of asymptomatic infecti
