No barrier breakdown between human and cattle schistosome species in the Senegal River Basin in the face of hybridisation Institute of Tropical Medicine KU Leuven University of Antwerp
Schistosomiasis is widely distributed along the Senegal River Basin (SRB), affecting both the human population and their livestock. Damming of the Senegal River for irrigation purposes in the 1980s induced ecological changes that resulted in a large outbreak of Schistosoma mansoni, followed a few years later by an increase and spread of Schistosoma haematobium infections. The presence of hybrid crosses between the human and cattle ...

Large expert-curated database for benchmarking document similarity detection in biomedical literature search Institute of Tropical Medicine KU Leuven University of Antwerp
Document recommendation systems for locating relevant literature have mostly relied on methods developed a decade ago. This is largely due to the lack of a large offline gold-standard benchmark of relevant documents that cover a variety of research fields such that newly developed literature search techniques can be compared, improved and translated into practice. To overcome this bottleneck, we have established the RElevant LIterature SearcH ...
Households or hotspots? Defining intervention targets for malaria elimination in Ratanakiri Province, eastern Cambodia Institute of Tropical Medicine Hasselt University University of Antwerp
Background: Malaria "hotspots" have been proposed as potential intervention units for targeted malaria elimination. Little is known about hotspot formation and stability in settings outside sub-Saharan Africa.
Methods: Clustering of Plasmodium infections at the household and hotspot level was assessed over 2 years in 3 villages in eastern Cambodia. Social and spatial autocorrelation statistics were calculated to assess clustering of ...
