Longitudinal observational (single cohort) study on the causes of trypanocide failure in cases of African animal trypanosomosis in cattle near wildlife protected areas of Northern... by Shauna Richards, Davide Pagnossin, Paul Samson Buyugu, Oliver Manangwa, Furaha Mramba, Emmanuel Sindoya, Edith Paxton, Steve J Torr, Ryan Ritchie, Giovanni E Rossi, Lawrence Nnadozie Anyanwu, Michael P Barrett, Liam J Morrison, Harriet Auty

“…On quality analysis, two ISM samples had no detectable ISM isomers, but the remainder of ISM and DA samples (n = 46) fell within the range of acceptable levels. Drug counterfeiting, inadequate use of trypanocides, and resistance are all contributing to trypanocide failure, limiting effective AAT control and with implications for human disease risk. …”

Complexity Analysis on the Supply Chain of Brand Enterprise Countermeasures against Imitation Threats by Abudureheman Kadeer, Mingyu Zhao, Mengzhe Li

“…The conclusions are as follows: (1) The stable scope of the brand enterprise price adjustment enlarges with the increase of the adjustment parameters of new product quality and imitation price. (2) The attraction domain of the initial decisions of the counterfeit enterprise decreases when the brand enterprise makes dynamic decisions on new product quality; a higher new product quality adjustment parameter can reduce the imitation ability of the counterfeit enterprise. (3) With the growth of the degree of substitution between new products and existing products, the quality of new products is improved, the output of existing products is reduced, and the counterfeit enterprise withdraws from the market if the degree of substitution between existing products and imitations is high. (4) The dynamic system can suppress chaos and restore stability by using the delay feedback control method. …”

Shaping interaction among improved cowpea’s farming: Do Institutions have a role to play? A case of Oyam district in Uganda by Tobby, Akecha, Prossy, Isubikalu, Losira, N. Sanya, Narisi, Mubangizi, Jacob, Agea G, Eton, Marus

“…Cowpea farmers remained vulnerable to unreliable supply of certified input (seeds), and resorted to own farm saved seeds and make them more susceptible to counterfeit cowpea seeds and other input. The poor performance of counterfeit input (seeds) supplied to cowpea farmers by fellow farmers and other counterfeit input dealers made farmers loose trust on formal input supplies and depended more on the on-farm saved seeds from fellow farmers recycled over time. …”
