The Coilia nasus is an important fish species, which is of commercial values in China. In order to manage the fisheries resources and the development of sustainable fishing strategies to protect this species, 11 microsatellite loci polymorphisms and mtDNA COI sequences were used to examine the genetic diversity of C. nasus in Japan and China. In total, the 40 COI haplotypes and 93 microsatellite alleles were detected. The mtDNA phylogeny did not support population grouping, but the distribution patterns of mtDNA haplotypes and the results of STRUCTURE analysis based on microsatellite indicated a degree of genetic isolation in this species. Our study suggested that the lack of a population genetic structure might result in its amphidromous life cycle, and the geographical distance and habitat fragments might cause isolated populations. Thus, the sampling populations of C. nasus in Japan and China could be divided as four geographical/ecological populations.

Recently, the African swine fever (ASF) epizootic has been reported in domestic pigs and wild boars in several European Union Member States (EU MS) and epidemiological evidence has accumulated which indicates that wild boar play a key role in maintaining and spreading the disease. Thanks to the experience gained when managing ASF outbreaks in Sardinia (Italy) and Eastern Europe, Directive 2002/60 CE was issued. This directive represented an important step forward in controlling the disease, particularly the risk of spreading the virus to wild animals.

The center-periphery hypothesis (CPH) predicts that peripheral populations will have lower genetic variation than those at the center of a species' distribution. However, ecological margins do not always coincide with geographical edges when topographies are diverse. Historical climate changes can also strongly affect genetic variation.

Background: Asbestos exposure is a recognized risk factor for ovarian cancer and malignant mesothelioma. There are reports in the literature of geographical ecological associations between the occurrence of these two diseases. Our aim was to further explore this association by applying advanced Bayesian techniques to a large population (10 million people).
