A Serio-epidemiological prospecitive cohort study of the prevalence and incidence of antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 in children measured for one year in Belgium.

IPAFLU: A prospective study assessing the incidence of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA) and identifying host and microbial risk factors predisposing to IPA among critically ill patients with severe influenza KU Leuven
Each year, influenza causes ~30,000 U.S. deaths, the majority of which stem from influenza pneumonia or secondary bacterial or fungal pneumonia. Aspergillus fumigatus is the leading cause of post-influenza fungal pneumonia. A retrospective study of ICU patients with influenza in Europe showed that 14% of patients without typical risks for invasive fungal infection developed invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA). The mortality rate of IPA ...
Incidence and ecology of rust disease (Hemileia vastatrix) on wild Coffea arabica in moist Ethiopian mountain forests KU Leuven
Coffea arabica L. (Family Rubiaceae) remains as a backbone of Ethiopian economy and plays an important and significant role in the country’s economy and employment opportunity and accounted for 5 and 25 %, respectively. Ethiopia, the birthplace of Coffea arabica has great coffee genetic diversity in Southwestern part of the country in the Afromontane forests, which will be a potential for identifying wild Coffea arabica resistant to Coffee ...
Genetic variation in wild and cultivated Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica L.): Evolutionary origin, global distribution, and its effect on fungal disease incidence in Southwest Ethiopia KU Leuven
Crop biodiversity, which comprises both the diversity within and between crop species and their wild relatives, is highly valued because of its potential to adapt crops to changing environmental conditions and consumer’s demands. Crop diversity is currently threatened land use conversion and agricultural intensification. The characterisation of the genetic diversity and make-up of the wild and cultivated gene pool of a crop is key to make ...
