Population Structure News Today

Since 2006, the Ministry of Health has carried out prenatal and newborn screening, diagnosis, and treatment of some diseases and disorders to help reduce costs and improve the health of the future population.

The Colorado potato beetle (CPB, Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say) is one of the most successful invasive species worldwide. It has been present in Croatia since 1947, where it has caused significant damage to potato plants and developed resistance to several insecticides. Our study is the first attempt to investigate the population structure of CPBs in Croatia. SNP and GM techniques provided us with data about the population structure of the CPB population. A Bayesian model-based clustering algori...

Việt Nam needs to develop a policy to encourage husbands and wives-to-be to register for  pre-marital health tests, so that they will be more prepared both psychologically and physically for their married life without causing burdens on themselves and the society.

The Ministry of Health’s General Department of Population and Family Planning has coordinated with localities to implement pre-marital counseling and health examination in 63 cities and provinces since 2013.

Vietnam needs to develop a policy to encourage husbands and wives-to-be to register for pre-marital health tests, so that they will be more prepared both psychologically and physically for their married life without causing burdens on themselves and society.

Vietnam has a population of more than 99 million people. Population growth has been effectively controlled over the years, with quality being improved in many different ways.

Dengue is the fastest spreading arboviral disease, posing great challenges on global public health. A reproduceable and comparable global genotyping framework for contextualizing spatiotemporal epidemiological data of dengue virus (DENV) is essential for research studies and collaborative surveillance. Targeting DENV-1 spreading prominently in recent decades, by reconciling all qualified complete E gene sequences of 5003 DENV-1 strains with epidemiological information from 78 epidemic countries/...

Arboreal gliders are vulnerable to habitat fragmentation and to barriers that extend their glide distance threshold. Habitat fragmentation through deforestation can cause population isolation and genetic drift in gliding mammals, which in turn can result in a loss of genetic diversity and population long-term persistence. This study utilised next generation sequencing technology to call 8784 genome-wide SNPs from 90 sugar gliders (Petaurus breviceps) sensu stricto. Samples were collected from 12...

Radiocarbon dating has significant shortcomings. New research is now providing tools for dating ancient remains more precisely.

Whale populations recovering from historical whaling are particularly vulnerable to incidental mortality and disturbance caused by growing ocean industrialization. Several distinct populations of rorqual whales (including humpback, blue, and fin whales) migrate and feed off the coast of Oregon, USA where spatial overlap with human activities are on the rise. Effective mitigation of conflicts requires better foundational understanding of spatial and temporal habitat use patterns to inform conserv...
