Association of environmental traits with the geographic ranges of ticks (Acari: Ixodidae) of medical and veterinary importance in the western Palearctic; a digital data set Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
We compiled information on the distribution of ticks in the western Palearctic (11 degrees W, 45 degrees E; 29 degrees N, 71 degrees N), published during 1970-2010. The literature search was filtered by the tick's species name and an unambiguous reference to the point of capture. Records from some curated collections were included. We focused on tick species of importance to human and animal health, in particular: Ixodes ricinus, Dermacentor ...
Geographic distribution of the invasive cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus, a country-wide survey in Benin Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
The cattle tick Rhipicephalus microplus is currently invading the West African region, and little information is available on the spread of this exotic tick in this region. We set out a country-wide field survey to determine its current distribution in Benin. Ticks were collected on cattle from 106 farms selected by random sampling covering all regions of the country. Rhipicephalus annulatus was found on 70 % of all farms, R. decoloratus on 42 ...
Automating actualisation of geographic information using the twofold fuzzy region model Universiteit Gent
In this paper a new method is proposed for automating quality control and actualisation of spatial information using image data. A new model for imperfect geographic information is explored for this purpose: a two fold fuzzy region model; which is an extension of both the fuzzy region model and the egg/yolk model. This model is used to interpret spatial classifications and its imperfections in a new way. By defining different operators on the ...

Bordering, ordering and othering through tourism: the tourism geographies of borders KU Leuven
The interplay between borders and tourism has fascinated tourism geographers for decades. However, only recently has tourism geographies research on borders mirrored border studies by interweaving tourism with its spatial, cultural, political and economic embedding in order to understand tourism’s socio-spatial place-making and bordering effects. We utilize the highly influential framework for border studies of van Houtum and van Naerssen to ...
Rebellious riots : entangled geographies of contention in Africa Universiteit Gent
Is violent conflict in Africa urbanizing? How do urban protests and civil war intersect? How do narratives, mechanisms and identities of contention move between urban and rural arenas? These questions constitute the basis of investigation and analysis of this unique cross-disciplinary volume. Applying diverging perspectives and methods from political science, anthropology and urban African studies, the book carefully constructs the relational ...
Rebellious riots : entangled geographies of contention in Africa Universiteit Gent
Starting from the question why different forms of contentious politics in Africa, from rural uprisings to armed rebellions, have for so long been studied separately and in disconnection to each other, this chapter forms the introduction of our edited volume. We set out the main conceptual and analytical frameworks for the study of contemporary forms of contention in Africa, introducing a critical investigation of the ‘urbanization of conflict’ ...
