Coastalplain Honeycombhead, Balduina angustifolia by Debbie Miller, Mack Thetford, Chris Verlinde, Gabriel Campbell, Ashlynn Smith

“…It is a prolific flower and seed producer that attracts numerous pollinators, including the gulf fritillary butterfly. Interestingly, the endemic, solitary, and ground-dwelling coastal plain Hesperapis (Hesperapis oraria), also known as Balduina bee, is completely dependent on the coastalplain honeycombhead for survival, only emerging from the ground a few weeks each year in September to October to collect pollen and nectar (Hunsburger 2013). …”

“…However, there is little information about the immune response to repeated booster doses of RTS,S/AS01E. In many malaria-endemic areas of Africa, the burden of malaria is largely restricted to the rainy season and, therefore, a recent trial conducted in Burkina Faso and Mali explored the impact of repeated annual booster doses of RTS,S/AS01E given immediately prior to the malaria transmission season until children reached the age of five years. …”

Global Dynamics and Applications of an Epidemiological Model for Hepatitis C Virus Transmission in China by Mingwang Shen, Yanni Xiao, Weike Zhou, Zhen Li

“…Two Lyapunov functions are constructed to prove the global asymptotic stability of the disease-free and the endemic equilibria, respectively. Based on data reported by the National Health and Family Planning Commission of China, the basic reproduction number is estimated as approximately R0=1.9897, which is much less than that for the model when a treatment strategy is not considered. …”
