Ecology of parasite-vector interactions
Vector-borne diseases continue to be one of the most important determinants affecting human and animal health. Large numbers of people suffer from diseases like malaria, dengue, filariasis and leishmaniasis, especially in the tropics. Whereas these diseases were eradicated from the temperate climate zones, in recent years the rising incidence of 'emerging' vector-borne diseases such as bluetongue, West Nile Virus, Lyme disease, tick-borne encephalitis and the recent outbreaks of chikungunya and dengue in southern Europe provide evidence that these diseases are resilient and can disperse to other regions and continents where before they were not present or relevant. Many tools for the managem...
Science and Biotechnology in Africa
The Society for the Advancement of Science in Africa (SASA) continues with its mission to advance science, improve health, and promote economic and social development on the African continent. It serves to push for continent-wide African innovation and new frontiers of scientific research. Its fifth annual conference was held jointly with the University of Rwanda under the theme “Translational Science and Biotechnology Advances in Africa”. This volume provides a selection of papers presented at the conference, encompassing diverse fields including biomedical sciences, health research, agricultural and soil sciences, advances in minimal invasive surgery, disease surveillance, pharmaceutical sciences, and genetics and genomics. The diversity of participants and spirited presentations covering over a dozen fields and sub-fields is indeed a true reflection of the tangible advancement of science in Africa.

De staat van het klimaat
De mens veroorzaakt dramatische opwarming van de aarde en de funeste gevolgen daarvan moeten wij dringend tegengaan. Wie twijfelt aan deze onwelgevallige waarheid wordt buiten spel gezet als opwarmingsontkenner. Gelekte e-mails wierpen nadien echter een bedenkelijk licht op de wetenschappelijke integriteit van klimaatonderzoekers en in het laatste ipcc-rapport werden opmerkelijke fouten ontdekt. De klimaatconsensus kalft inmiddels sneller af dan de Groenlandse gletsjers. Wat hiervan te denken? Staan de fundamenten van het klimaatbolwerk nog overeind? Kunnen wij het ipcc wel vertrouwen? Hoe urgent is de opwarming en waarom komen maatregelen maar niet van de grond? Kritisch en deskundig analyseert Marcel Crok het belangrijkste wetenschappelijke en politieke debat van onze tijd.
Seed Fate
This book presents current knowledge of seed fate in both natural and human-disturbed landscapes, from various regions of the world. Habitats considered range from mountain and arid deserts in the temperate zone, to savanna and lowland rainforests in tropical regions of the world. Particular attention is paid to plant diversity conservation when seed removal is affected by factors such as hunting, habitat fragmentation or intensive logging. Contributors include leading scientists involved in research on seed ecology and on animal-plant relationships from the perspective of both primary and secondary seed dispersal, and predation.
When vectors collide with cultures: 'anthropo-vector ecology', who is controlling who?
The 20th European Society for Vector Ecology Conference 2016 wants to draw attention to the impact and importance of vectors and vector-borne diseases on landscapes inhabited by human beings and how to make this paradigm most effective to benefit public health. Session subjects are: invasive species: ecology and their potential role as vectors; citizen science and social approaches on vector control; epidemiology of vector-borne diseases and their vectors; ecology and behaviour of vectors; emerging vector-borne diseases and risk assessment; vector-pathogens interactions; taxonomy, systematic and phylogeny of vectors; and advance technologies on vector control.
Control of Poultry Mites (Dermanyssus)
This book details worldwide research activities at laboratory and farm levels to control poultry red mites. It presents new control methods based on plants, predators or vaccine developments together with updated chemical, physical and managerial approaches.
