To include the issues of migration and health in the current global health agenda, it is important to establish/strengthen a network for collaboration among various stakeholders from both the migrant-sending and host countries of migrants especially in the Asian-Pacific region. As the initial step ...
Mutation c.235delC Cytosine deletion in nucleotide 235 (c.235delC) of the GJB2 gene has been described as a novel mutation in patients with hearing loss from Japan.45 Further analysis of the GJB2 gene in Asian countries revealed that mutation c.235delC is common in Japan, China, Korea...
The genetic variation of East Asian cattle breeds has been extensively characterized using single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) [5]. However, structural variations (SV), including insertions (INS), deletions (DEL), inversions (INV), and duplications (DUP), are considered to have a greater impact...
It is a difference with populations from Northern Spain [64] and Central European countries [25] under a most rainy climatology. In the closest areas of the watercourses always appear arboreal species of willow (Salix alba, S. fragilis) or shrub ones (Salix atrocinerea, S. pedicellata and ...
HPAI outbreaks were detected in the Asian part of Russia (south-western Siberia) in the summer of 2005. By the autumn of 2006 the virus had spread to the European part of Russia, to several European countries and to Africa. However, the role of wild goose species in the distribution of ...
Figure 2: Geographic origin of worldwide populations. Full size image Figure 3: Accuracy of assigning populations to their origin is coloured with dark blue for countries and light blue for regional locations. Populations for which regional data were available are marked with an asterisk. The avera...
According to Wan, the Xishuangbanna Asian Elephant Rescue and Breeding Center has rescued 30 trapped, injured, or sick wild elephants in the past 20 years. China has also set up cooperative mechanisms -- such as sharing protection knowledge and technical training with neighboring countries such as...
For example, the mosquitoes Aedes albopictus, Aedes japonicus and Aedes koreicus, which are endemic to Asia, have colonised several European countries [5, 6]. Both Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus have been recently found on the island of Cyprus [7]. The recent invasion of East Africa by ...
Differences in progression of CKD and mortality amongst Caucasian, Oriental Asian and South Asian CKD patients BACKGROUND: Ethnic differences in chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression are not well characterized but are of interest across and within countries. METH... SJ Barbour,E Lee,D Ognjenka...
The first sample was derived from an in-house study performed by Guoet al.6. IMPUTE program27was utilized to impute the genotypes of all SNPs located in the genomic regions of interest based on Asian HapMap data. SNPTEST27was used to test the association between the imputed SNPs and OF. ...
