Whole genome sequencing (WGS) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis has rapidly progressed from a research tool to a clinical application for the diagnosis and management of tuberculosis and in public health
A comparison of linear regression, regularization, and machine learning algorithms to develop Europe-wide spatial models of fine particles and... (Publications)
Empirical spatial air pollution models have been applied extensively to assess exposure in epidemiological studies with increasingly sophisticated and complex statistical algorithms beyond ordinary li
Health risks for sanitation service workers along a container-based urine collection system and resource recovery value chain (Publications)
Container-based sanitation (CBS) within a comprehensive service system value chain offers a low-cost sanitation option with potential for revenue generation but may increase microbial health risks to
Marginal bone loss one year after implantation: a systematic review of different loading protocols (Publications)
The aim of this study was to analyse the influence of different loading protocols on marginal bone loss (MBL). The outcomes of different implant loading protocols were assessed at 1year after implanta
Risk of congenital anomalies near municipal waste incinerators in England and Scotland: retrospective population-based cohort study (Publications)
BACKGROUND: Few studies have investigated congenital anomalies in relation to municipal waste incinerators (MWIs) and results are inconclusive. OBJECTIVES: To conduct a national investigation into the
Association between long-term air pollution exposure and DNA methylation: the REGICOR study (Publications)
INTRODUCTION: Limited evidence suggests that epigenetic mechanisms may partially mediate the adverse effects of air pollution on health. Our aims were to identify new genomic loci showing differential
High detection rate of <em>Rickettsia africae</em> in <em>Amblyomma variegatum</em> but low prevalence of anti-rickettsial antibodies in healthy... (Publications)
Tick-borne spotted fever group (SFG) rickettsioses are emerging infectious diseases in Sub-Saharan Africa. In Madagascar, the endemicity of tick-borne rickettsiae and their vectors has been incomplete
Rapid identification of <em>Burkholderia pseudomallei</em> and <em>Burkholderia mallei </em>by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) from culture... (Publications)
We evaluated newly developed probes for rapid identification of Burkholderia (B.) pseudomallei and B. mallei and differentiation from B. thailandensis by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). FIS
Evaluation of fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) for the identification of <em>Candida albicans</em> in comparison with three phenotypic... (Publications)
Severe Candida infections are increasing and are associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. Rapid and accurate differentiation of Candida albicans from non-C. albicans species is essential
