Identification of thermotolerant <em>Campylobacter</em> species by fluorescence in situ hybridization (Publications)
Thermotolerant Campylobacter spp. (Campylobacter jejuni, C. coli, C. lari, and C. upsaliensis) are leading causes of food-borne diarrhea in humans. In this study, the usefulness of fluorescence in sit
Evaluation of fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) for the detection of fungi directly from blood cultures and cerebrospinal fluid from patients... (Publications)
The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of in-house FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridisation) procedures for the direct identification of invasive fungal infections in blood c
Tick (<em>Amblyomma chabaudi</em>) infestation of endemic tortoises in southwest Madagascar and investigation of tick-borne pathogens (Publications)
Little is known about the role of endemic ticks as vectors for bacterial and protozoan pathogens for animals and humans in Madagascar and their interaction in anthropogenic habitats where humans, thei
Fluorescent<em> in situ</em> hybridization of pre-incubated blood culture material for the rapid diagnosis of histoplasmosis (Publications)
Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) has been shown to be useful for the detection of Candida and Cryptococcus species in blood culture materials. FISH procedures for the detection of Histoplasma
Molecular detection of <em>Setaria tundra</em> (Nematoda: Filarioidea) and an unidentified filarial species in mosquitoes in Germany (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Knowledge of the potential vector role of Culicidae mosquitoes in Germany is very scanty, and until recently it was generally assumed that they are not involved in the transmission of anth
Rapid identification of <em>Leishmania</em> spp. in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue samples by fluorescence<em> in situ</em> hybridization (Publications)
OBJECTIVE: To describe and validate fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), a new method of Leishmania spp. identification. FISH allows for a rapid detection of target organisms by specific binding
Diversity-oriented synthesis yields novel multistage antimalarial inhibitors (Publications)
Antimalarial drugs have thus far been chiefly derived from two sources-natural products and synthetic drug-like compounds. Here we investigate whether antimalarial agents with novel mechanisms of acti
Antimalarial <em>N</em>1,<em>N</em>3-dialkyldioxonaphthoimidazoliums: synthesis, biological activity, and structure-activity relationships (Publications)
Here we report the nanomolar potencies of N (1),N (3)-dialkyldioxonaphthoimidazoliums against asexual forms of sensitive and resistant Plasmodium falciparum. Activity was dependent on the presence of
