Stepwise approach for the control and eventual elimination of Taenia solium as a public health problem by Braae, U.C., Gabriël, S., Trevisan, C., Thomas, Lian F., Magnussen, P., Abela-Ridder, B., Ngowi, H., Johansen, M.V.

“…This goal has not been met, and validated evidence of effective control or elimination in endemic countries is still incomplete. Measuring and evaluating success of control programmes remains difficult, as locally acceptable targets have not been defined as part of the 2012 roadmap nor from other sources, and the performance of tools to measure effect are limited. …”

Fluctuations in growth are heritable and a potential indicator of resilience in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) by Mengistu, Samuel, Mulder, Han, Bastiaansen, John, Benzie, John, Khaw, Hooi Ling, Trinh, Trong, Komen, Hans

“…This consistency can be quantified by the variance of deviations from the expected trait level measured at multiple time points. The objectives of this study were to estimate genetic parameters for resilience in Nile tilapia, measured as consistency in growth. …”
