Journal ArticleDOI
Transmission electron microscopic observations on ultrastructural damage in juvenile Schistosoma mansoni caused by artemether.
TL;DR: The ability of artemether to cause extensive ultrastructural damage to juvenile S. mansoni correlates with its schistosomicidal effects and confirms earlier findings with S. japonicum.
Journal Article
Frequency of haematuria and proteinuria among Schistosoma haematobium infected children of two communities from Liberia and Tanzania
TL;DR: The frequencies of haematuria and proteinuria among children of two rural communities with different Schistosoma haematobium endemicity from Liberia and Tanzania were compared and showed a comparable, good specificity, but a community-specific sensitivity.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The African-German StaphNet consortium uses microbiological characterization of African S. aureus isolates, including identification of virulence factors, alongside the gathering of epidemiological and clinical data in an innovative research network between a European country (Germany) and several African partners.
Journal ArticleDOI
Willingness to use a rapid diagnostic test for malaria in a rural area of central Côte d'Ivoire
Colombe Coffie Comoé,Allassane F Ouattara,Giovanna Raso,Giovanna Raso,Marcel Tanner,Marcel Tanner,Jürg Utzinger,Jürg Utzinger,Benjamin G. Koudou +8 more
TL;DR: Socio-cultural factors might be barriers for accepting rapid diagnostic tests for malaria in general health services and special attention should be given to these barriers as otherwise the promotion of RDTs for prompt and effective diagnosis and subsequent management of malaria is hampered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sequence diversity of the merozoite surface protein 1 of Plasmodium falciparum in clinical isolates from the Kilombero District, Tanzania.
TL;DR: To contribute to the required knowledge of genetic diversity of malaria parasites in geographically diverse regions, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is used to analyze the sequence diversity of blocks 1-4 of PfMSP-1 in disease isolates from the Kilombero District in Tanzania.
