A case of acute brucellosis associated with HIV infection in Turkey by Fatma Yekta Urkmez, Sevil Alkan

“…In addition, we recommend that clinicians should be more cautious about fever of unknown origin in HIV-positive patients, especially in regions where brucellosis is endemic. In the presence of newly developing fever and lymphadenopathy in HIV-infected individuals, opportunistic infections as well as other infectious diseases, including brucellosis, should be considered.…”

Étude de la diversité floristique des ptéridophytes à Brazzaville, Congo by Victor Kimpouni, Marie Yvette Lenga-Sacadura, Josérald Chaîph Mamboueni, Lucien Niamba

“…Phytogeographic analysis reveals that the large-distribution element dominates (75 % of taxa) dominates the endemic element (25 %). The development of the public urban roads in general and the degradation of the urban forest ecosystem, as a result of recurrent anthropogenic actions and higher levels of intensity, strongly impact the growth of pteridophytes populations in the city of Brazzaville.…”

ANTHRAX GLOBAL EPIZOOTOLOGY. 1. SUSCEPTIBLE ANIMALS by Makhamat Nguerabe Yamtitina, V. V. Makarov

“…Anthrax affects mammals of 19 species: mostly cattle, which are intermediate hosts and hosts in the global parasitoid system; sheep and goats, horses, pigs, many species of wild ruminants and herbivorous, mostly deer, gazelles, bisons, hippopotamuses and even elephants, as well as Carnivora. Herbivorous endemic animals play the main role in maintenance of natural (soil) foci of anthrax and provide infectious cycles and regular recontamination of the soil – the only reservoir of infection. …”

A TB model: Is disease eradication possible in India? by Surabhi Pandey, Ezio Venturino

“…Mathematically, an interesting feature of the system is that it exhibits a backward, or subcritical, bifurcation.One of the results of the investigation shows that the discrepancy between the diagnosis rates of the public and private sector does not seem to be the cause of the endemicity of the disease, and, unfortunately, even if they reached 100% of correct diagnosis, this would not be enough to achieve disease eradication.Several other approaches have been attempted on the basis of this model to indicate possible strategies that may lead to disease eradication, but the rather sad conclusion is that they unfortunately do not appear viable in practice.…”
