Animal bait catches (see Chap. 6) usually catch only unfed females in search of a blood-meal and the choice of bait species will in many cases determine the species of mosquito sampled. Attractant traps (Chap. 11) also predominantly sample host seeking females, and may often attract only c...
To assess the accuracy of automated diagnostic methods in the Colombian sample, we compared the clinical diagnosis based on clinical and genetic testing with the diagnosis estimated from the frontal facial 2D images of the patients using the Face2Gene technology (FDNA Inc., Boston, MA, USA; https...
Many endangered species exist in small, genetically depauperate, or inbred populations [1], hence promoting genetic differentiation and reducing long-term population viability [2, 3]. Genetic diversity is important to the breeding and long term persistence of endangered species [4, 5]. In theory...
Population genetics from 1966 to 2016 B Charlesworth and D Charlesworth We describe the astonishing changes and progress that have occurred in the field of population genetics over the past 50 years, slightly longer than the time since the first Population Genetics Group (PGG) meeting in January ...
In 1966, Brownstein first suggested that psoriasis was associated with type 2 DM8. In a recent meta-analysis, patients with psoriasis were shown to have an increased risk of diabetes, and the pooled OR was 1.76 (95% CI 1.59–1.96) in the random effect model analysis9. Although there are...

While Israel is fairly unique with regard to its combined high levels of economic prosperity and high population growth, this case study has relevance for developed countries and regions (like the south and southwest regions of the USA) which must balance population growth and urban development ...

Mutation accumulation is one of the major genetic theories of ageing and predicts that the frequencies of deleterious alleles that are neutral to selection until post-reproductive years are influenced by random genetic drift. The effective population siz
