Epidemics in markets with trade friction and imperfect transactions [PDF]
Market trade-routes can support infectious-disease transmission, impacting biological populations and even disrupting causal trade. Epidemiological models increasingly account for reductions in infectious contact, such as risk-aversion behaviour in response to pathogen outbreaks. However, market dynamics clearly differ from simple risk-aversion, as are

Can index insurance alter pastoralists' labor allocation decisions? Evidence from East Africa
Abstract Social protection programs designed to reduce the impact of economic, climatic, and social shocks on vulnerable livelihoods are becoming more popular. This study explores the causal effects of index‐based livestock insurance (IBLI) programs that have been implemented among pastoralists in Ethiopia and Kenya.

Illuminating Immunity: A Systematic Review of Immune Cell Autofluorescence
ABSTRACT Immunophenotyping provides valuable prognostic and diagnostic information, but is technically complex and expensive. The assessment of autofluorescence is label‐free and provides complex information on cell identity. However, research on its application to immunophenotyping has been heterogenous.

Individual or collective treatments: how to target antimicrobial use to limit the spread of \textit{Mannheimia haemolytica} among beef cattle? [PDF]
The overuse of antibiotics has become a major global concern due to its role in diminishing treatment effectiveness and positively selecting antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains. This issue is particularly important in the beef cattle sector, where Bovine Respiratory Diseases (BRD) impose significant economic and welfare burdens.

Analysis of Differentially Expressed Proteins Involved in Shrimp and Crab Allergies
Using proteomics techniques, we identified 90 differentially expressed proteins in children with shrimp and crab allergies compared to normal controls, with 82 upregulated and 8 downregulated proteins. Validation of MRC2 upregulation by ELISA in allergic patients highlights the potential role of this protein in the allergic response.
