“Human Babesiosis”: An Emerging Transfusion Dilemma by Helieh S. Oz, Karin H. Westlund

“…Babesiosis, a common disease of animals, can infect humans via vector “tick bite”, particularly in endemic areas. The recent reports of fatal cases in Hepatitis C and postliver transplant patients resulting from transfusion of contaminated blood should alert the medical profession regarding this emerging dilemma in endemic as well as nonendemic areas and the need for accurate blood screening for transfusion. …”

Chewing Khat Transmission Dynamics: A Mathematical Model and Stability Analysis by Abayneh Kebede Fantaye, Zerihun Kinfe Birhanu

“…Following that, the authors have looked at the local and global stability of the model’s khat-free and endemic equilibrium points. When R0<1, the chewing khat-free equilibrium point is locally and globally asymptotically stable, whereas when R0>1, the endemic equilibrium point is locally and globally asymptotically stable. …”

Susceptibility Profiles of Mycobacterium ulcerans Isolates to Streptomycin and Rifampicin in Two Districts of the Eastern Region of Ghana by Enid Owusu, Mercy Jemima Newman, Nana Konama Kotey, Amos Akumwena, Elizabeth Bannerman

“…With the successful definitive management of BU using rifampicin and streptomycin, little attention had been paid to monitoring emergence of resistant Mycobacterium ulcerans (M. ulcerans) isolates in endemic communities. This study investigated the susceptibility profiles of M. ulcerans isolates from two BU endemic areas in Ghana to streptomycin and rifampicin. …”

Qualitative Stability Analysis of an Obesity Epidemic Model with Social Contagion by Enrique Lozano-Ochoa, Jorge Fernando Camacho, Cruz Vargas-De-León

“…On the other hand, considering social and nonsocial contagion and following the same methodology, we found that the dynamic of the model is simpler than that described above: it has a unique endemic equilibrium point that is globally asymptotically stable.…”

Global stability of a multi-group model with vaccination age, distributed delay and random perturbation by Jinhu Xu, Yicang Zhou

“…A multi-group epidemic model withdistributed delay and vaccination age has been formulated and studied.Mathematical analysis shows that the global dynamics of the model is determinedby the basic reproduction number $\mathcal{R}_0$:the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if $\mathcal{R}_0\leq1$,and the endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable if $\mathcal{R}_0>1$.Lyapunov functionals are constructed by the non-negative matrix theory and a novel grouping techniqueto establish the global stability.The stochastic perturbation of the model is studied and it is provedthat the endemic equilibrium of the stochastic model is stochastically asymptotically stablein the large under certain conditions.…”

Existence of multiple-stable equilibria for a multi-drug-resistant model of mycobacterium tuberculosis by Abba B. Gumel, Baojun Song

“…The modelhas a disease-free equilibrium, which is locally asymptotically stable if a cer-tain threshold, known as the effective reproduction number, is less than unity.Further, the model undergoes a backward bifurcation, where the disease-freeequilibrium coexists with a stable endemic equilibrium. One of the main nov-elties of this study is the numerical illustration of tri-stable equilibria, wherethe disease-free equilibrium coexists with two stable endemic equilibrium whenthe aforementioned threshold is less than unity, and a bi-stable setup, involving two stable endemic equilibria, when the effective reproduction number isgreater than one. …”

Two Cases of Lacaziosis in Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in Japan by Keiichi Ueda, Ayako Sano, Jyoji Yamate, Eiko Itano Nakagawa, Mitsuru Kuwamura, Takeshi Izawa, Miyuu Tanaka, Yuko Hasegawa, Hiroji Chibana, Yasuharu Izumisawa, Hirokazu Miyahara, Senzo Uchida

“…Lacaziosis, formerly called lobomycosis, caused by Lacazia loboi, is a zoonotic mycosis found in humans and dolphins and is endemic in the countries on the Atlantic Ocean. Although the Japanese coast is not considered an endemic area, photographic records of lacaziosis-like skin lesions were found in bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) that were migrating in the Goto Islands (Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan). …”
