Surveillance of Arboviruses in Primates and Sloths in the Atlantic Forest, Bahia, Brazil Koninklijke Maatschappij voor Dierkunde van Antwerpen
From 2006 through 2014, we conducted seroepidemiological surveys on non-human primates and sloths to investigate the possible circulation of arboviruses in Bahia Atlantic Forest, Brazil. We collected a total of 196 samples from 103 Leontopithecus chrysomelas, 7 Sapajus xanthosternos, 22 Bradypus torquatus and 7 Bradypus variegatus. Serum samples were tested using neutralization test and hemagglutination inhibition test to detect total antibodies ...

Heterogeneous contributions of change in population distribution of body mass index to change in obesity and underweight NCD Risk Factor Collaboration (NCD-RisC) KU Leuven Universiteit Gent
From 1985 to 2016, the prevalence of underweight decreased, and that of obesity and severe obesity increased, in most regions, with significant variation in the magnitude of these changes across regions. We investigated how much change in mean body mass index (BMI) explains changes in the prevalence of underweight, obesity, and severe obesity in different regions using data from 2896 population-based studies with 187 million participants. ...
Height and body-mass index trajectories of school-aged children and adolescents from 1985 to 2019 in 200 countries and territories: a pooled analysis of 2181 population-based studies with 65 million participants KU Leuven Universiteit Gent
BACKGROUND: Comparable global data on health and nutrition of school-aged children and adolescents are scarce. We aimed to estimate age trajectories and time trends in mean height and mean body-mass index (BMI), which measures weight gain beyond what is expected from height gain, for school-aged children and adolescents. METHODS: For this pooled analysis, we used a database of cardiometabolic risk factors collated by the Non-Communicable Disease ...
Genomic variation in European Sea bass: from SNP discovery within ESTs to genome scan. KU Leuven
European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) is an economically important marine species in European aquaculture. Althou gh sea bass population structure is well known, aquaculture does not benefit fr om selection programs, sea bass production being nearly completely based on wild-caught fishes reproducing in semi-controlled conditions. More knowl edge on the sea bass genome would help the breeding progress in this species, th e study of natural ...
