An epidemic model for the interactions between thermal regime of rivers and transmission of proliferative kidney disease in salmonid fish

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Luca Carraro, Marino Gatto

Proliferative kidney disease (PKD) affects salmonid populations in European and North-American rivers. It is caused by the endoparasitic myxozoan Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae, which exploits freshwater bryozoans (Fredericella sultana) and salmonids as pri ...

Long-term changes in annual maximum snow depth and snowfall in Switzerland based on extreme value statistics

Juliette Ferial Blanchet

Mountain snow cover is an important source of water and essential for winter tourism in Alpine countries. However, large amounts of snow can lead to destructive avalanches, floods, traffic interruptions or even the collapse of buildings. We use annual maxi ...
