Cattle and climate in Africa: How climate variability has influenced national cattle holdings from 1961–2008
Lunde, Torleif Markussen; Lindtjørn, Bernt (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-03-19)The role of cattle in developing countries is as a source of high-quality food, as draft animals, and as a source of manure and fuel. Cattle represent important contribution to household incomes, and in drought prone areas ... -
Climate change, crop production and child under nutrition in Ethiopia; a longitudinal panel study
Gebreyesus, Seifu Hagos; Lunde, Torleif Markussen; Mariam, Damen H.; Woldehanna, Tassew; Lindtjørn, Bernt (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-08-27)Background: The amount and distribution of rainfall and temperature influences household food availability, thus increasing the risk of child under nutrition. However, few studies examined the local spatial variability and ... -
Diet and kwashiorkor: A prospective study from rural DR Congo
Kismul, Hallgeir; Van den Broeck, Jan; Lunde, Torleif Markussen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-04-15)The etiology of kwashiorkor remains enigmatic and longitudinal studies examining potential causes of kwashiorkor are scarce. Using historical, longitudinal study data from the rural area of Bwamanda, Democratic Republic ... -
A dynamic model of some malaria-transmitting anopheline mosquitoes of the Afrotropical region. I. Model description and sensitivity analysis
Lunde, Torleif Markussen; Korecha, Diriba; Loha Shumbullo, Eskindir; Sorteberg, Asgeir; Lindtjørn, Bernt (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-01-23)Background: Most of the current biophysical models designed to address the large-scale distribution of malaria assume that transmission of the disease is independent of the vector involved. Another common assumption in ... -
A dynamic model of some malaria-transmitting anopheline mosquitoes of the Afrotropical region. II. Validation of species distribution and seasonal variations
Lunde, Torleif Markussen; Balkew, Meshesha; Korecha, Diriba; Gebre-Michael, Teshome; Ulesido, Fekadu Massebo; Sorteberg, Asgeir; Lindtjørn, Bernt (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-02-25)Background: The first part of this study aimed to develop a model for Anopheles gambiae s.l. with separate parametrization schemes for Anopheles gambiae s.s. and Anopheles arabiensis. The characterizations were constructed ... -
Effect of Bednets and Indoor Residual Spraying on Spatio-Temporal Clustering of Malaria in a Village in South Ethiopia: A Longitudinal Study
Loha Shumbullo, Eskindir; Lunde, Torleif Markussen; Lindtjørn, Bernt (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-10-12)Background: Understanding the spatio-temporal pattern of malaria transmission where prevention and control measures are in place will help to fine-tune strategies. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of ... -
How malaria models relate temperature to malaria transmission
Lunde, Torleif Markussen; Bayoh, Mohamed Nabie; Lindtjørn, Bernt (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-01-18)Background: It is well known that temperature has a major influence on the transmission of malaria parasites to their hosts. However, mathematical models do not always agree about the way in which temperature affects malaria ... -
On the dynamics of two efficient malaria vectors of the Afrotropical region: Anopheles gambiae s.s. and Anopheles arabiensis
Lunde, Torleif Markussen (Doctoral thesis; Peer reviewed, 2013-08-19)Weather and climate are only some of the factors influencing the dynamics of malaria. With the ongoing debate on the consequences of climate change, there is a need for models which are designed to address these questions. ... -
Seasonal and spatial factors related to longitudinal patterns of child growth in Bwamanda, DR Congo
Schwinger, Catherine; Lunde, Torleif Markussen; Andersen, Peter; Kismul, Hallgeir; Van den Broeck, Jan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-11-18)Background: Studying the influence of geographical factors on child growth is important, especially given the increasing interest in climate change and health in resource-poor settings and the recognized importance of ... -
Strengthening malaria and climate research in Ethiopia
Lindtjørn, Bernt; Loha, Eskindir; Deressa, Wakgari; Balkew, Meshesha; Gebremichael, Teshome; Sorteberg, Asgeir; Woyessa, Adugna; Animut, Abebe; Diriba, Korecha; Massebo, Fekadu; Viste, Ellen; Lunde, Torleif Markussen; Tesfahun, Dereje (Conference object; Peer reviewed, 2014-09-22) -
Studie av kysttorskbestander i Troms og Finnmark basert på tråldata, 1995-2004 : statistiske analyser av mengdeutvikling, geografiske sammenhenger, lengdefrekvensfordeling og feilkilder i trålmetodikk
Lunde, Torleif Markussen (Master thesis, 2006)Bestanden av kysttorsken (Gadus morhua) har i følge International Council for the Explorations of the Sea (ICES) og Havforskningsinstituttet (HI) vist sammenhengende tilbakegang siden 1994. Tråldata fra HI i perioden ...
