De soevereine rechtspraak van de Banco di San Giorgio over Corsica (1453 - 1562). Een antifeodaal en koloniaal regime in private handen ? KU Leuven
The sovereign jurisdiction of the Genoese Banco di San Giorgio over Corsica in the period 1453-1562 was the subject of research in this thesis. It was neither possible nor desirable to (re)write the complete (legal) history of Corsica within the scope of this thesis. Nevertheless, with our research we hoped to have initiated a legal-historical overview of the various claims of sovereignty and the various forms of colonial expansion from ...
Outbreak of urogenital schistosomiasis in Corsica (France): an epidemiological case study KU Leuven
BACKGROUND: Schistosomiasis is a snail-borne parasitic disease endemic in several tropical and subtropical countries. However, in the summer of 2013, an unexpected outbreak of urogenital schistosomiasis occurred in Corsica, with more than 120 local people or tourists infected. We used a multidisciplinary approach to investigate the epidemiology of urogenital schistosomiasis in Corsica, aiming to elucidate the origin of the outbreak. METHODS: We ...

Description of a new Eucoryphus species from the island of Corsica, France (Diptera: Dolichopodidae, Hydrophorinae) Instituut voor Natuur- en Bosonderzoek
Eucoryphus Mik is a Palaearctic genus of Dolichopodidae, previously with two described species confined to the montane and alpine zones of the European Alps. This paper describes a third species, Eucoryphus piscariviverus sp. nov., discovered in the mountains of southern Corsica. The systematic position of the genus Eucoryphus and the ecology of its species are discussed in detail and a key to males of the three species is provided.
Local and international implications of schistosomiasis acquired in Corsica, France Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
We report 11 cases of schistosomiasis in international travelers who had bathed in rivers in Corsica, France, during 2012-2014. The infections were diagnosed in 2014 and reported to the GeoSentinel Surveillance Network and European Travel Medicine Network. Travelers can be sentinels for emerging infections; thus, this situation warrants a concerted human and veterinary epidemiologic response.
