Absence of knockdown resistance suggests metabolic resistance in the main malaria vectors of the Mekong region Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
The insecticide resistance status of malaria vectors in the Mekong region Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
Knockdown resistance in Anopheles vagus, An. sinensis, An. paraliae and An. peditaeniatus populations of the Mekong region Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: In the Mekong region (Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos), a large investigation was conducted to assess the susceptibility of Anopheles species against DDT and pyrethroids. In this study, the resistance status of the potential malaria vectors An. vagus, An. sinensis, An. paraliae and An. peditaeniatus was assessed. METHODS: Bioassays were performed on field collected unfed female mosquitoes using the standard WHO susceptibility ...
Absence of knockdown resistance suggests metabolic resistance in the main malaria vectors of the Mekong region Universiteit Antwerpen
Background As insecticide resistance may jeopardize the successful malaria control programmes in the Mekong region, a large investigation was previously conducted in the Mekong countries to assess the susceptibility of the main malaria vectors against DDT and pyrethroid insecticides. It showed that the main vector, Anopheles epiroticus, was highly pyrethroid-resistant in the Mekong delta, whereas Anopheles minimus sensu lato was ...
Knockdown resistance in **Anopheles vagus**, **An. sinensis**, **An. paraliae** and **An. peditaeniatus** populations of the Mekong region Universiteit Antwerpen
Background In the Mekong region (Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos), a large investigation was conducted to assess the susceptibility of Anopheles species against DDT and pyrethroids. In this study, the resistance status of the potential malaria vectors An. vagus, An. sinensis, An. paraliae and An. peditaeniatus was assessed. Methods Bioassays were performed on field collected unfed female mosquitoes using the standard WHO susceptibility tests. In ...
Incorporating heterogeneous sampling probabilities in continuous phylogeographic inference - Application to H5N1 spread in the Mekong region KU Leuven
MOTIVATION: The potentially low precision associated with the geographic origin of sampled sequences represents an important limitation for spatially explicit (i.e. continuous) phylogeographic inference of fast-evolving pathogens such as RNA viruses. A substantial proportion of publicly available sequences is geo-referenced at broad spatial scale such as the administrative unit of origin, rather than more precise locations (e.g. geographic ...
Economic effects of labor migration on agricultural production of farm households in the Mekong River Delta region of Vietnam Universiteit Antwerpen
In this article, we analyze the relationship between rural to urban migration and agricultural output in the Mekong River Delta Region of Vietnam. We use a choice-theoretic model to predict the effects of a reduction in farm hands due to migration on agricultural output. Provided remittances are reinvested, the model shows that migration may enhance household agricultural output. Based on a sample of 1,054 households, we estimate a Cobb-Douglas ...

A Vietnamese Mekong Delta Regional Plan 2030 & Vision to 2050: Accentuating Six Agro-Ecological Regions KU Leuven
The Mekong Delta is a relatively young cultural landscape formed and transformed over the last three centuries by its sophisticated water management—beginning with Viet and French colonization and continuing to the present day. The dynamic delta and its incredibly productive landscapes and dispersed, dense settlements are undergoing drastic economic development and simultaneously bearing witness to the impacts of climate change. Sea level rise, ...
