In these assays, which can be performed within 5 d, the effect of a drug is determined [...] by phenotypic assessment of the parasites' viability and morphology, for which stage-specific scoring scales are proposed. Finally, the modalities for testing and evaluating a compound in vivo, constituting [...] we detail the establishment and maintenance of the complex and...

enzymes from entering the glycosome. As a result, the glucose is fermented uncontrolledly in the cell plasma and the entire supply of ATP is consumed. Thus, the glucose changes from the vital nutrient to a [...] Trypanosomes, the pathogens of the Sleeping Sickness, cover their entire energy supply by glucose which they obtain in large quantities form our blood. In order to be able to ferment glucose, the parasite must [...] energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). If ATP is consumed...

Target product profile for a diagnostic assay to differentiate between bacterial and non-bacterial infections and reduce antimicrobial overuse in... (Publications)
fever is one of the most common presenting symptoms globally. In order to reduce the empiric use of antimicrobial drugs and improve outcomes, it is essential to improve diagnostic capabilities. In the absence [...] cs were defined. The working group defined non-severely ill, non-malaria infected children as the target population for the desired assay. To provide access to the most patients, the test should be deployable [...] staff should require 90% and > 80% for sensitivity and specificity,...
