Local and global asymptotic behavior of malaria-filariasis coinfections in compliant and noncompliant susceptible pregnant women to antenatal medical program in the tropics by Oluwatayo M. Ogunmiloro

“…In this paper, a mathematical nonlinear model system of equations describing the dynamics of the co-interaction between malaria and filariasis epidemic affecting the susceptible host population of pregnant women in the tropics is formulated. The basic reproduction number ${R_{mf}}$ of the coepidemic model is obtained, and we investigated that it is the threshold parameter between the extinction and persistence of the coepidemic disease. …”

Climate smart crop-livestock integrated farming as a sustainable agricultural strategy for humid tropical islands by T. P. Swarnam, A. Velmurugan, T. Subramani, N. Ravisankar, N. Subash, A. S. Pawar, P. Perumal, I. Jaisankar, S. Dam Roy

“…Therefore, a long-term (2011-2018) study was undertaken to evaluate these practices in a crop-livestock integrated farming system (IFS) approach as a climate-smart agricultural (CSA) strategy for enhancing agricultural production on a humid tropical island. The results showed a significant increase in on-farm productivity from 2.8 t ha−1 in 2011–35.6 t ha−1 in 2018 and net returns from USD 359 to more than 3500 ha−1 due to the adoption of CSA practices. …”
