Impact of community‑based health insurance on utilisation of preventive health services in rural Uganda: a propensity score matching approach by Emmanuel, Nshakira-Rukundo, Essa, Mussa Chanie, Nathan, Nshakira, Joachim, von Braun

“…This paper surveys households in rural south-western Uganda, which are geographically serviced by a voluntary Community-based health insurance scheme, and applied propensity score matching to assess the effect of enrolment on using mosquito nets and deworming under-five children. We find that enrolment in the scheme increased the probability of using a mosquito net by 26% and deworming by 18%. …”

Culex quinquefasciatus: status as a threat to island avifauna and options for genetic control by Tim Harvey-Samuel, Thomas Ant, Jolene Sutton, Chris N. Niebuhr, Samoa Asigau, Patricia Parker, Steven Sinkins, Luke Alphey

“…Three pathogens of concern are the avian malaria parasites, the avian poxviruses, and West Nile virus—each of which can be transmitted by Culex quinquefasciatus, a highly adaptive and invasive mosquito. Culex quinquefasciatus has dramatically expanded its range in recent centuries and is now established throughout much of the tropics and sub-tropics, including on many islands that are remote from mainland landmasses and where this geographic separation historically protected island species from mosquito-borne diseases. …”

A mathematical model for the spread of west nile virus in migratory and resident birds by Louis D. Bergsman, James M. Hyman, Carrie A. Manore

“…We develop a mathematical model for transmission of West Nile virus (WNV) that incorporates resident and migratory host avian populations and a mosquito vector population.We provide a detailed analysis of the model's basic reproductive number and demonstrate how theexposed infected, but not infectious, state for the bird population can be approximated by a reduced model.We use the model to investigate the interplay of WNV in both resident and migratory bird hosts. …”
