Study and Prediction of Land Use/Cover Change in Small and Medium-Sized River Basins in Typical Urbanization Areas by LI Liujie, LIU Bingjun, WEI Qiuying

“…In order to explore the spatio-temporal evolution pattern of land use in small and medium-sized river basins under the background of rapid urbanization,this paper studied the Baiyun Lake basin and analyzed the structure change in land use in the Baiyun Lake basin from 1980 to 2020 by using land use dynamic degree and land use intensity.In addition,the paper employed a standard deviation ellipse model to analyze the spatial pattern change in the basin,discussed the influence on the land use in the basin before and after the completion of Baiyun Lake,and utilized a CA-Markov model to simulate the land use in the basin in the 2030 and explore the pattern evolution trend of land use in the basin in the future.The results show that:① The land in the Baiyun Lake basin from 1980 to 2020 was mostly used for construction,with an average annual proportion of 51.77%,and in 2020,the proportion reached 70.13%.② In the past 40 years,the land use in the basin has changed from cultivated land,dry land,forest,and grassland to construction land.The land use intensity has continued to rise,and the land structure has gradually tended to be single.③ Baiyun Lake occupies part of the urban land,so the land use in the basin will focus on the adjustment of forest and construction land in 2030.The land use intensity will change slowly,and the urban construction space will be controlled to a certain extent.…”

Prevalence of Ticks Infesting Dairy Cattle and the Pathogens They Harbour in Smallholder Farms in Peri-Urban Areas of Nairobi, Kenya by Shepelo Getrude Peter, Hellen Wambui Kariuki, Gabriel Oluga Aboge, Daniel Waweru Gakuya, Ndichu Maingi, Charles Matiku Mulei

“…While ticks are well-known vectors of major bacterial pathogens of both veterinary importance and public health importance, few studies have investigated the range of the tick species and the associated pathogens, especially present in unique dairy production systems, which compromise animal welfare, such as those in peri-urban areas. A cross-sectional study was undertaken involving 314 randomly selected dairy cattle in 109 smallholder farms. …”

Subcutaneous Granulomatous Inflammation due to Basidiobolomycosis: Case Reports of 3 Patients in Buruli Ulcer Endemic Areas in Benin by Luc V. C. Brun, Jean Jacques Roux, Ghislain E. Sopoh, Julia Aguiar, Miriam Eddyani, Wayne M. Meyers, Dirk Stubbe, Marie T. Akele Akpo, Françoise Portaels, Bouke C. de Jong

“…Microbiological confirmation by PCR for Basidiobolus ranarum and culture yield the most specific diagnosis, yet they are not widely available in endemic areas and with varying sensitivity. A combination of histopathological findings, namely, granulomatous inflammation with giant cells, septate hyphal fragments, and the Splendore-Hoeppli phenomenon, can confirm basidiobolomycosis in patients presenting with painless, hard induration of soft tissue. …”
