Ecological divergence and hybridization of Neotropical Leishmania parasites Vrije Universiteit Brussel Universiteit Antwerpen KU Leuven Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
The tropical Andes are an important natural laboratory to understand speciation in many taxa. Here we examined the evolutionary history of parasites of the Leishmania braziliensis species complex based on whole-genome sequencing of 67 isolates from 47 localities in Peru. We first show the origin of Andean Leishmania as a clade of near-clonal lineages that diverged from admixed Amazonian ancestors, accompanied by a significant reduction in ...

High-resolution habitat suitability model for Phlebotomus pedifer, the vector of cutaneous leishmaniasis in southwestern Ethiopia Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde Universiteit Antwerpen
Background: Phlebotomus pediferis the vector forLeishmania aethiopicacausing cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) in southwestern Ethiopia. Previous research on the transmission dynamics of CL resulted in recommendations for vector control. In order to target these interventions towards affected areas, a comprehensive understanding of the spatial distribution ofP. pediferat high spatial resolution is required. Therefore, this study determined the ...
Climatic suitability and compatibility of the invasive Iris pseudacorus L. (Iridaceae) in the Southern Hemisphere: Considerations for biocontrol Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Iris pseudacorus L. (Iridaceae) is an emergent macrophyte native to Europe, North Africa and western Asia.
Considered invasive in wetland habitats around the world, this species is now the target of a biocontrol pro-
gramme in the Southern Hemisphere. Native range surveys of the weed led to the selection of the flea beetle,
Aphthona nonstriata Goeze (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), as a candidate ...
