Association of body size and behavior of freshwater ostracods (Crustacea, Ostracoda) with aquatic macrophytes
Published in Aquatic Ecology
In aquatic systems, macrophytes play an important role in habitat structuring and can be relevant for the establishment and/or mobility of the organisms and might thus influence species composition. This study evaluates the influence of the structural complexity of aquatic plants on the community composition of Ostracoda in the upper Paraná River f...
Diversity of ostracod communities (Crustacea, Ostracoda) across hierarchical spatial levels in a tropical floodplain
Published in Hydrobiologia
Assessing and evaluating the mechanism and patterns of species distribution across multiple hierarchical spatial levels, such as in floodplains, are important for understanding the factors that influence the structure of communities. The species composition may vary at these spatial levels or between the spatial levels along the hierarchical scale....
Modelling the potential of focal screening and treatment as elimination strategy for Plasmodium falciparum malaria in th...

Published in Parasites & Vectors
BackgroundFocal screening and treatment (FSAT) of malaria infections has recently been introduced in Peru to overcome the inherent limitations of passive case detection (PCD) and further decrease the malaria burden. Here, we used a relatively straightforward mathematical model to assess the potential of FSAT as elimination strategy for Plasmodium f...
Uncommon occurrence ratios of aflatoxin B1, B2, G1, and G2 in maize and groundnuts from Malawi
Published in Mycotoxin Research
We report an unusual aflatoxin profile in maize and groundnuts from Malawi, with aflatoxin G1 found routinely at equal or even higher levels than aflatoxin B1. Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) ratio in a contaminated sample is generally greater than 50 % of total aflatoxin (sum of aflatoxin B1, B2, G1, and G2). In Malawi, the aflatoxin occurrence ratios were de...

Sociopolitical determinants of international health policy.
Published in International journal of health services : planning, administration, evaluation
For decades, two opposing logics have dominated the health policy debate: a comprehensive health care approach, with the 1978 Alma Ata Declaration as its cornerstone, and a private competition logic, emphasizing the role of the private sector. We present this debate and its influence on international health policies in the context of changing globa...
