Genome skimming provides evidence to accept two new genera (Apiaceae) separated from the Peucedanum s.l. by Bo-Ni Song, Chang-Kun Liu, Chang-Kun Liu, Jiao-Jiao Deng, Wei-Yan Tan, Song-Dong Zhou, Xing-Jin He

“…In addition, we also investigated the divergence time of core clade of endemic taxa.Results and DiscussionBoth analyses failed to recover Peucedanum s.l. as a monophyletic group and robustly supported that P. morisonii, the representative of Peucedanum s.s., was distantly related to other Peucedanum s.l. members, which implied that these Peucedanum s.l. taxa were not “truly Peucedanum plants”. …”

Effectiveness of iNTS vaccination in sub-Saharan Africa by Daniele Cassese, Nicola Dimitri, Gianluca Breghi, Tiziana Spadafina

“…Abstract Invasive non-Typhoidal Salmonella (iNTS) is one of the leading causes of blood stream infections in Sub-Saharan Africa, especially among children. iNTS can be difficult to diagnose, particularly in areas where malaria is endemic, and difficult to treat, partly because of the emergence of antibiotic resistance. …”

Modeling and analysis of the San Francisco City Clinic Cohort (SFCCC) HIV-epidemic including treatment by Brandy Rapatski, Juan Tolosa

“…We investigate two HIV/AIDS epidemic models.The first model represents the early San Franciscomen having sex with men (MSM) epidemic.We use data from the San Francisco City Clinic Cohort Study (SFCCC), documentingthe onset of HIV in San Francisco (1978-1984).The second model is a ``what-if'' scenario model includingtesting and treatment in the SFCCC epidemic.We use compartmental, population-level models,described by systems ofordinary differential equations.We find the basic reproductive number $R_0$ for each system,and we prove that if $R_0<1 the="" system="" has="" only="" the="" disease-free="" equilibrium="" dfe="" which="" is="" locally="" and="" globally="" stable="" whereas="" if="" r_0="">1$, the DFE is unstable.In addition, when $R_0>1$, both systems have a unique endemic equilibrium (EE).We show that treatment alone would not have stopped the San Francisco MSM epidemic,but would have significantly reduced its impact.…”

The History of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus in Brazil by Mariana Moreira Andrade, Wilson Barros Luiz, Rayane da Silva Oliveira Souza, Jaime Henrique Amorim

“…In Brazil, the first MRSA isolates were reported in the late 1980s, and since then different genetic profiles, such as the Brazilian epidemic clone (BEC) and other clones considered a pandemic, became endemic in the Brazilian population. Additionally, Brazil’s MRSA clones were shown to be able to transfer genes involved in multidrug resistance and enhanced pathogenic properties. …”
