6. State Capacity and Development in Francophone West Africa

This is done by measuring and analysing the dynamic history of tax revenue, as a key measure of the capacity of the state, and development in four countries in francophone West Africa – Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, Niger and Senegal – over the long 20th century.

7. Immunological characteristics of recombinant fragments of the Plasmodium falciparum blood-stage antigen Pf332
Sammanfattning : Effective malaria vaccine might help improve control strategies against malaria, but the complexity of interactions between the parasite and its hosts poses challenges. The asexual blood stage P. falciparum antigen Pf332 has potentials as one of the proteins in understanding the complex host-parasite interactions. LÄS MER
8. Satellite remote sensing of primary production in semi-arid Africa
Sammanfattning : With the challenges Africa faces with respect to the predicted warming due to climate change, the continents role in the global carbon cycle has been increasingly recognized. Earth observing satellites have played a significant role in the study of vegetation, particularly in Africa where climate stations are sparse. LÄS MER
9. Immunological characteristics of a C-terminal fragment of the Plasmodium falciparum blood-stage antigen Pf332
Sammanfattning : Till date, there are no effective control strategies against the deadly disease of malaria, and millions of children across Africa, Oceania, Asia, and Latin America are at the mercy of this long term enemy of man every second that passes by. Other control measures combined with vaccination might help improve control strategy against malaria, but the development of vaccines face various challenges as well, due to the complexity of the parasites’ life cycle and other host factors.
