Envisioning Liberal Internationalism: Mapping and the League of Nations' Geographical Department

The Geographical Journal, Volume 192, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper argues that mapping was a foundational technology through which the idea of liberal internationalism was actively produced. Focusing on the League of Nations' Geographical Department, we show how a new sphere of international challenges was constituted where none had previously existed or been widely agreed upon.

Age‐Related and Seasonal Variation in Malaria and Other Causes of Fever and Their Association With Clinical Outcomes in Southern Angola: A Hospital‐Based Study

Tropical Medicine &International Health, Volume 31, Issue 9, Page 1273-1283, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Acute febrile illnesses in sub‐Saharan Africa are often attributed to malaria, yet many patients test negative for malaria parasites. The aetiology of nonmalarial fevers remains understudied. Here, we examine likely causes of febrile illnesses and their association with poor clinical outcomes in Angola.

Rickettsia prowazekii and Real-time Polymerase Chain Reaction

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2006
Rickettsia prowazekii is the causative agent of epidemic typhus and a potential bioterrorism agent. Sensitive and specific rapid assays are needed to complement existing methods of detecting this organism. We developed a real-time quantitative polymerase

Immuno‐Informatics Design of Multi‐Epitope Vaccine Candidate Against Anaplasma phagocytophilum Using Major Surface Protein 4 (MSP‐4) Antigen

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Bovine anaplasmosis is an intracellular tick‐borne, non‐contagious disease caused by gram‐negative bacteria of the family Anaplasmataceae and order Rickettsia. Anaplasma phagocytophilum is the etiological agent for human granulocytic anaplasmosis associated with severe health implications in parts of Europe and the USA and ...

Involvement of Pore Formation and Osmotic Lysis in the Rapid Killing of Gamma Interferon-Pretreated C166 Endothelial Cells by Rickettsia prowazekii

Tropical Medicine and Infectious Disease, 2022
Rickettsia prowazekii, the bacterial cause of epidemic typhus in humans, proliferates mainly within the microvascular endothelial cells. Previous studies have shown that murine macrophage-like RAW264.7 cells are rapidly damaged if they are pretreated ...
