Ecologic, Geoclimatic, and Genomic Factors Modulating Plague Epidemics in Primary Natural Focus, Brazil

Emerging Infectious Diseases
Plague is a deadly zoonosis that still poses a threat in many regions of the world. We combined epidemiologic, host, and vector surveillance data collected during 1961-1980 from the Araripe Plateau focus in northeastern Brazil with ecologic, geoclimatic, and Yersinia pestis genomic information to elucidate how these factors interplay in plague activity.

The Effect of Geoclimatic Factors on the Distribution of Paracoccidioidomycosis in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil

Journal of Fungi
The incidence of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) varies in Latin America, and it is influenced by environmental factors. This study evaluated the distribution of PCM acute/subacute form (AF) cases and their correlation with geoclimatic factors in the Mato Grosso do Sul (MS) state.

Estimation of Refractivity Gradient and Geoclimatic Factor for Radio Link Design in Nigeria [PDF]

Physical Science International Journal, 2018
Accurate estimation of refractivity gradient and geoclimatic factor is highly necessary for radio signal propagation in clear air environment to cater for fade margin, essential for a reliable radio link. This is necessary because of the unstable nature of the environment the signal is traversing. These parameters were estimated from the meteorological

Trichiasis and geoclimatic factors in Mali

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2007
Several trachoma surveys conducted in sub-Saharan countries showed different geographical distributions of active trachoma and trichiasis. Trichiasis is more common in southern regions. We analysed the role of geoclimatic factors in determining the distributions of active trachoma and trichiasis in Mali.

Biogeographical patterns derived from remote sensing variables: the amphibians and reptiles of the Iberian Peninsula [PDF]

, 2009
The biogeographic patterns in species density of herptiles were analysed in the Iberian Peninsula. Geoclimatic regions were identified using a PCA. Individual habitat suitability (HS) models for 23 amphibians and 35 reptiles at 10 x 10 km scale were ...

Prevalence, Distribution, and Factors Associated with Vector-Borne Pathogen Infections in Pet Dogs from Different Geoclimatic Zones in Sri Lanka

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, 2023
Vector-borne pathogens (VBPs) cause significant diseases in dogs in the tropics. In Sri Lanka, the scarce availability of previous studies on canine VBPs has hampered an accurate evaluation of their prevalence in pet dog populations. In this study, we collected demographic, clinical, and environmental data together with whole blood from 423 pet dogs ...
