Prepatellar Bursal Infection Caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis with an In Situ Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Case Report and Comprehensive Literature Review by Abdulrahman D. Algarni

“…All physicians treating patients with musculoskeletal disease should be aware of the possibility of this diagnosis and maintain a high index of suspicion; this is especially true in areas where tuberculosis is still endemic and in high-risk patients, such as the elderly.…”

A Mathematical Model of the Transmission Dynamics and Control of Bovine Brucellosis in Cattle by Stephen Abagna, Baba Seidu, C. S. Bornaa

“…The disease-free equilibrium point of the model is shown to be locally asymptotically stable whenever basic reproduction number R0≤1 and unstable if R0>1. Also, the endemic equilibrium point of the model is shown to be locally asymptotically stable whenever R0>1 and unstable otherwise. …”

On a Stochastic Approach to Extensions of the Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible (SIS) Model Applied to Malaria by Abdoul Karim Drabo, Frédéric Bere, S. P. Clovis Nitiema

“…We carried out numerical simulations of our results for two types of transmission zones: a zone with low malaria transmission and an endemic zone. Through these simulations, we first determined the invariant stationary distribution π∗ of the model, and then, we found that the use of the indoor residual spraying (IRS) method by regular application of insecticides is more effective for the elimination of malaria than the use of long-acting impregnated mosquito nets (LLINs).…”

Risques économico-environnementaux liés aux emballages traditionnels pour vivres frais utilisés dans le bassin maraîcher de Foumbot (Cameroun) by Alassa Mfouapon, Moïse Moupou, Jeannine Mefire, Jean-Noël Ngapgue

“…The strategy consisting of adapting products to specific traditional packing, the afforestation process of endemic species such as raffia and other raw materials from forest-gallery, the direct selling without intermediaries and in the same way the scaffolding piles should be therefore confirmed as relevant strategies dealing with the sustainability of market garden distribution.…”

Managing the health and productivity of HLB-affected groves by Tripti Vashisth

“…Growers are urgently looking for strategies to maintain fruit production in their groves under endemic HLB conditions. After years of extensive research from across the world, we still do not have a cure for HLB, however we have learned a lot about this disease, the plant’s response and the disease vector. …”

FOUR CRITERIA FOR IDENTIFYING THE SOCIALLY MARGINAL IN THE SOCIAL CONTEXT OF EARLY CHRISTIANITY REFLECTED IN THE NEW TESTAMENT by I.C. Berg

“… The social dynamics of the world of early Christianity is characterised by the limit of upward mobility and social disparity between classes in terms of access to both material resources such as lands and funds and nonmaterial resources such as honour and political power. This phenomenon was endemic throughout the imperial Roman world, which was the immediate sociopolitical context of early Christianity. …”

Regard noir sur la Cité des Anges : James Ellroy by Frédéric SOUNAC

“…A sismic territory and modern Sodoma, the so-called « City of Angels » is often depicted as a violent and all impulse driven place, in which the individual yearning for redemption is always destroyed by endemic corruption. The decadent city analyzed in a rather pessimistic way by Mike Davis in his essay Beyond Blade Runner finds in Michael Connelly’s and James Ellroy’s crime fiction a powerful representation. …”

Enhancing Malaria Control Strategy: Optimal Control and Cost-Effectiveness Analysis on the Impact of Vector Bias on the Efficacy of Mosquito Repellent and Hospitalization by Iffatricia Haura Febiriana, Abdullah Hasan Hassan, Dipo Aldila

“…The model is then analyzed to demonstrate how the malaria-endemic equilibrium always exists and is globally asymptotically stable if the basic reproduction number is larger than one. …”

Reed, Akila Fathallah-Mili, Akila Fathallah-Mili, Ikram Guizani

“…L. major is hyperendemic in many countries in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, where other species co-occur with different endemicity levels according to the situations. This complicates disease management and treatment, particularly as distribution and epidemiology of leishmaniases remain poorly understood. …”

Comparative genomics of Leptospira santarosai reveals genomic adaptations in bovine genital strains by Maria Isabel Nogueira Di Azevedo, Frederico Kremer, Camila Ezepha, João Pedro Gomes Greco, Isadora Cosenza Vieira da Silva, Pascale Bourhy, Walter Lilenbaum

“…The present study sheds light on the pathophysiology of BGL based on comparative genomic analysis of renal versus genital isolates of Leptospira santarosai genomes, an endemic species on Latin America. A significant number of genes were exclusive of the genital strains, with emphasis on genes associated with cell wall/membrane/envelope biogenesis, mobilome: prophages and transposons, and signal transduction mechanisms. …”
