Drywood Termite, Cryptotermes cavifrons Banks (Insecta: Isoptera: Kalotermitidae) by Angela S. Brammer, Rudolf H. Scheffrahn

“…A member of the same genus that might be mistaken for C. brevis upon a first, cursory examination is C. cavifrons, a species endemic to Florida. This document is EENY-279, one of a series of Featured Creatures from the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida. …”

Analysis of a Tuberculosis Infection Model considering the Influence of Saturated Recovery (Treatment) by Fatima Sulayman, Farah Aini Abdullah

“…The model displays interesting dynamics, including backward bifurcation and Hopf bifurcation, which further results in the stable disease-free and stable endemic equilibria to be coexisting. Bifurcation analysis demonstrates that the saturation parameter is accountable for the phenomenon of backward bifurcation. …”

Fractional-Order Epidemic Model for Measles Infection by Philip N. A. Akuka, Baba Seidu, Eric Okyere, Stephen Abagna

“…Furthermore, we construct appropriate Lyapunov functions to establish the global asymptotic stability of the disease-free and endemic equilibrium points. Finally, the numerical solution of the model is executed employing the efficient and widely known Adams-type predictor-corrector iterative scheme, and simulation is conducted to investigate the impact of memory index and diverse preventive measures on the occurrence of the disease. …”

Preventing Foodborne Illness: Cyclosporiasis cayetanensis by Keith R. Schneider, Rachael Silverberg, Susie Richardson, Renée M. Goodrich-Schneider

“… Cyclospora cayetanensis is a microscopic, spore-forming, intestinal protozoan parasite and a known cause of the gastrointestinal infection cyclosporiasis, often referred to as “traveler’s diarrhea” for its prevalence among visitors to regions where the species is endemic. These organisms have a protective covering that makes them resistant to disinfectants and that gives Cyclospora the ability to survive outside of hosts for extended periods. …”

Navigating pitfalls and misinterpretations in the use of historical sources for Huemul (Hippocamelus bisulcus) conservation: A critique to Flueck et al. (2023) by Norma I. Díaz, Paulo Corti

“…In a recent article, Flueck et al. (2023) argue that the huemul (Hippocamelus bisulcus), an endemic South American deer species, historically occupied open habitats and islands, such as Tierra del Fuego, and that its decline was primarily due to indigenous hunting, commercial export of hides to Europe, habitat alteration by settlers, and the introduction of exotic species. …”
