Background
Effective malaria vector control targeting indoor host-seeking mosquitoes has resulted in fewer vectors entering houses in many areas of sub-Saharan Africa, with the proportion of vectors outdoors becoming ...
Effect of interfering ions on hexamethyldisiloxane microdiffusion method
(2013-04-17)
Acid diffusion in the presence of hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDS) enables complete recovery of ionic fluoride from standards containing varying concentrations of aluminium as one of the main interfering ions. Acid diffusion ...
Changes in plasma viral load and penile viral shedding after circumcision among HIV-positive men in Kisumu, Kenya.
