Sero-epidemiological study of Taenia saginata cysticercosis in Belgian cattle Institute of Tropical Medicine
Assessment of expertise in morphological identification of mosquito species (Diptera, Culicidae) using photomicrographs Institute of Tropical Medicine
Accurate identification of insect species is an indispensable and challenging requirement for every entomologist, particularly if the species is involved in disease outbreaks. The European MediLabSecure project designed an identification (ID) exercise available to any willing participant with the aim of assessing and improving knowledge in mosquito taxonomy. The exercise was based on high-definition photomicrographs of mosquitoes (26 adult ...
Modeling the epidemiological history of plague in Central Asia: palaeoclimatic forcing on a disease system over the past millennium University of Antwerp
Background Human cases of plague (Yersinia pestis) infection originate, ultimately, in the bacterium's wildlife host populations. The epidemiological dynamics of the wildlife reservoir therefore determine the abundance, distribution and evolution of the pathogen, which in turn shape the frequency, distribution and virulence of human cases. Earlier studies have shown clear evidence of climatic forcing on contemporary plague abundance in rodents ...
