Transcription profiling of a recently colonised pyrethroid resistant <em>Anopheles gambiae</em> strain from Ghana (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Mosquito resistance to the pyrethroid insecticides used to treat bednets threatens the sustainability of malaria control in sub-Saharan Africa. While the impact of target site insensitivit
Solid fuel use for household cooking: country and regional estimates for 1980-2010 (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Exposure to household air pollution from cooking with solid fuels in simple stoves is a major health risk. Modeling reliable estimates of solid fuel use is needed for monitoring trends and
PLS-prediction and confirmation of hydrojuglone glucoside as the antitrypanosomal constituent of <em>Juglans</em> spp. (Publications)
Naphthoquinones (NQs) occur naturally in a large variety of plants. Several NQs are highly active against protozoans, amongst them the causative pathogens of neglected tropical diseases such as human
Assessing the relationship between environmental factors and malaria vector breeding sites in Swaziland using multi-scale remotely sensed data (Publications)
Many entomological studies have analyzed remotely sensed data to assess the relationship between malaria vector distribution and the associated environmental factors. However, the high cost of remotel
Geostatistical modelling of the malaria risk in Mozambique: effect of the spatial resolution when using remotely-sensed imagery (Publications)
The study of malaria spatial epidemiology has benefited from recent advances in geographic information system and geostatistical modelling. Significant progress in earth observation technologies has l
Prevalence and mother-to-infant transmission of hepatitis viruses B, C, and E in Southern Tanzania (Publications)
Hepatitis B and C markers were tested in 980 pregnant women, in the infants born to infected mothers, and in a random sample of 42 and 50, respectively, children born to uninfected mothers in Tanzania
Use of an ecologically relevant modelling approach to improve remote sensing-based schistosomiasis risk profiling (Publications)
Schistosomiasis is a widespread water-based disease that puts close to 800 million people at risk of infection with more than 250 million infected, mainly in sub-Saharan Africa. Transmission is govern
Comparison of community-wide, integrated mass drug administration strategies for schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminthiasis: a... (Publications)
BACKGROUND: More than 1ยท5 billion people are affected by schistosomiasis or soil-transmitted helminthiasis. WHO's recommendations for mass drug administration (MDA) against these parasitic infections
Annoyance from road traffic, trains, airplanes and from total environmental noise levels (Publications)
There is a lack of studies assessing the exposure-response relationship between transportation noise and annoyance in North America. Our aims were to investigate the prevalence of noise annoyance indu
Antibody isotype responses, infection and re-infection for <em>Schistosoma japonicum</em> in a marshland area of China (Publications)
Antibody isotype responses to adult worm antigen (AWA) of Schistosoma japonicum and two recombinant proteins (paramyosin (PMY) and a 22 kDa tegumental membrane-associated antigen (TEG)) were analyzed
