Tuberculosis and atopy: A study in an endemic area [PDF]
Respiratory Medicine, 2006 Atopy is expected to be less frequent and milder in patients with early exposure to bacterial infections because of regulatory immune mechanisms. The definition of the hygiene hypothesis and most of the related studies have been performed in children.

Mapping phylogenetic endemism in R using georeferenced branch extents
SoftwareX, 2015 Applications are needed to map biodiversity from large-scale species occurrence datasets whilst seamlessly integrating with existing functions in R. Phylogenetic endemism (PE) is a biodiversity measure based on range-restricted phylogenetic diversity (PD)
