Cross-sectional study of the burden of vector-borne and soil-transmitted polyparasitism in rural communities of Coast Province, Kenya. [PDF]
, 2014 BACKGROUND: In coastal Kenya, infection of human populations by a variety of parasites often results in co-infection or poly-parasitism. These parasitic infections, separately and in conjunction, are a major cause of chronic clinical and sub-clinical ...

Buchanan and the Social Contract: Coordination Failures and the Atrophy of Property Rights
Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT James Buchanan advocated that societies should be based on a social contract.
