Evolutionary dynamics and biogeography of Musaceae reveal a correlation between the diversification of the banana family and the geological and climatic history of Southeast Asia KU Leuven
Tropical Southeast Asia, which harbors most of the Musaceae biodiversity, is one of the most species-rich regions in the world. Its high degree of endemism is shaped by the region's tectonic and climatic history, with large differences between northern Indo-Burma and the Malayan Archipelago. Here, we aim to find a link between the diversification and biogeography of Musaceae and geological history of the Southeast Asian subcontinent. The ...
Escherichia coli ST410 among humans and the environment in Southeast Asia KU Leuven Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
Escherichia coli ST410 (Ec-ST410) is an emerging, multidrug-resistant clone. Recent investigations of its global epidemiology and evolution have been based almost exclusively on isolates from Europe and North America. It is unclear whether Southeast Asian-origin Ec-ST410 (SEA-Ec-ST410) belong to these same clones or represent regionally disseminated variants. Antimicrobial resistance mechanisms among SEA-Ec-ST410 were characterised, and whether ...
Lactarius subgenus Russularia (Russulaceae) in South-East Asia, 2: species with remarkably small basidiocarps Universiteit Gent
This paper is the second in a series of biodiversity papers on Lactarius subgenus Russularia in tropical forests of Southeast Asia. This study is based on extensive mycological exploration, especially in Northern Thailand, during the past ten years. In this paper we consider some species that are characterized by remarkably small basidiocarps i.e. with an average pileus diameter that is smaller than 20 mm. One of the most common species in ...
Anopheles species associations in Southeast Asia: indicator species and environmental influences Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
BACKGROUND: Southeast Asia presents a high diversity of Anopheles. Environmental requirements differ for each species and should be clarified because of their influence on malaria transmission potential. Monitoring projects collect vast quantities of entomological data over the whole region and could bring valuable information to malaria control staff but collections are not always standardized and are thus difficult to analyze. In this context ...
Health-financing reforms in southeast Asia: challenges in achieving universal coverage. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
In this sixth paper of the Series, we review health-financing reforms in seven countries in southeast Asia that have sought to reduce dependence on out-of-pocket payments, increase pooled health finance, and expand service use as steps towards universal coverage. Laos and Cambodia, both resource-poor countries, have mostly relied on donor-supported health equity funds to reach the poor, and reliable funding and appropriate identification of the ...
From the Global to the Local: The Development of Indigenous Peoples’ Land Rights Internationally and in Southeast Asia Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Despite a noticeable shift in recent years, indigenous peoples in Asia continue to experience many forms of human rights violations, with the most serious perhaps being the loss of traditional lands and territories. The purpose of this article is to examine indigenous peoples' land rights and its application in Southeast Asia. To that end, this article will: provide an overview of the development of indigenous peoples' land rights ...
Life tables and feeding habits of Proprioseiopsis lenis (Acari: Phytoseiidae) and implications for its biological control potential in Southeast Asia Universiteit Gent
Development, survival and reproduction of Proprioseiopsis lenis (Corpuz and Rimando) (Acari: Phytoseiidae), a predatory mite distributed in parts of Southeast Asia, were assessed on different foods. These included four pollens (Typha latifolia, Luffa aegyptiaca, Zea mays, Ricinus communis), the natural prey Tetranychus urticae (mixed stages) and Frankliniella occidentalis (first-second instars), and the storage mite Carpoglyphus lactis (mixed ...
