Dynamics of seasonal rabies incidence in animals in Azerbaijan by Ch. V. Aliyeva, Sh. K. Zeynalova

“…The epidemiological and epizootic significance of rabies is determined by its absolute lethality in case of clinical manifestations, as well as global spread, latent incubation period and lack of specific treatment. Rabies is endemic in Azerbaijan; wild carnivores, stray dogs and cats determining the natural type of rabies are considered the main source of infection in the Republic. …”

Effect of Intervention of Vaccination and Treatment on the Transmission Dynamics of HBV Disease: A Mathematical Model Analysis by Firaol Asfaw Wodajo, Temesgen Tibebu Mekonnen

“…Both local and global asymptotic stability conditions for disease-free and endemic equilibria are determined. The sensitivity index shows that the transfer rate from exposed class to acute infective class and transfer rate from exposed class to chronic infective class are the most dominant parameters contributing to the transmission of HBV. …”

Epizootic situation on sheep pox and goat pox in Tajikistan in 2000–2021 by R. Atovullozoda

“…Based on systemic epidemiological analysis of the structure and dynamics of nosoareals, as well as risk assessment of sheep pox and goat pox entry, emergence and distribution, monitoring and establishment of infected and endemic zones, the features and patterns of distribution and occurrence of these diseases’ epizootic process were defined, which confirms the need for a systematic approach to epidemiological surveillance of highly dangerous and economically significant infectious diseases having a trend for transboundary spread, which will facilitate the solution of the problem regarding identification of possible threats and the implementation of veterinary and sanitary measures in case of disease occurrence in the territory of any country to ensure animal disease freedom.…”

On latencies in malaria infections and their impact on the disease dynamics by Yanyu Xiao, Xingfu Zou

“…In both cases, we are able to show that when $\mathcal{R}_0>1$ then the disease will persist; moreover if there is no recovery ($\gamma_1=0$), then all admissible positive solutions will converge to the unique endemic equilibrium. A significant impact of the latencies is that they reduce the basic reproduction number, regardless of the forms of the distributions.…”

Geographical distribution of human pythiosis in the USA by Raquel Vilela, Sue C. Grady, Priscilla Rocha Vilela, Leonel Mendoza

“…Physicians handling clinical cases like those so far reported can use the geographic distribution of pythiosis human cases in this study as a guide in their clinical diagnosis and in the early management of putative cases.IMPORTANCEThe relevance of the study not only resides in the epidemiological distribution of animal human pythiosis in the USA (our team’s recent publication), but also shows physicians the areas where Pythium insidiosum thrive in endemic areas. Our manuscript shows to the medical and veterinary communities the current areas of human and animal pythiosis, an event that could have a direct impact on the epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of pythiosis.…”
