Rickettsia: the food thief

Weerawat Phuklia​ (LOMWRU)

Rickettsia are a type of bacteria that need host cells to grow. This makes it very difficult to detect with standard tests and to grow them in the laboratory. Find out more about this group of bacteria which can cause diseases such as murine typhus.

The special thing about spatial: applying maps to public health in Laos

Rica Zamora Duchateau (Clinton Health Access Initiative)

Why should we care about the decimal digits in the coordinates of a place? Rica explains how knowing exactly where everything is opens up a wonderful world of maps and spatial analyses that support not only Laos' public health programs, but can be used in daily life too.

The mysterious saola: ecology and conservation of the Lao unicorn

Chanthasone Phommachone​ (Saola Foundation for Annamite Mountains Conservation)

The saola is one of the most endangered animals in the world and has only been seen in the Annamites on the border of Laos and Vietnam. Hear how the Saola Foundation are using new tools to detect the saola in the wild in the hopes to protect them.

Seeds: the genetic exchanges enabling Lao agriculture

Erik Delaquis  (Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT)

Agriculture in Lao PDR is changing quickly. The big new export crops supporting the Lao economy depend on genetic resources that often come from distant or unexpected places. In this talk we will look at the origins of important crops in Lao agriculture, and how accessing seed pulls Lao farmers into regional and global exchange networks and debates.
