Background Canine rabies is one of the most important and feared zoonotic diseases in world. In some regions elimination being successfully coordinated, whereas others endemic continues to spread uninfected areas. As epidemics emerge, both accepted contentious control methods are used, as questions remain over effective strategy eliminate rabies. The Indonesian island Bali was rabies-free until 2008 when an epidemic domestic dogs began, resulting deaths 100 people. Here we analyze data from...

A few modifications to software and/or hardware of routers have been proposed recently avoid the transient micro loops that can occur during convergence link-state interior gateway protocols like IS-IS and OSPF. We1 propose in this paper a technique does not require ISIS OSPF, be applied now by ISPs. Roughly, case manual modification state link, we progressively change metric associated with link reach required ensuring each step progression will loop-free. The number changes are targeted...

Introduction Leptospirosis is a major cause of febrile illness in Africa but little known about risk factors for human infection. We conducted cross-sectional study to investigate acute leptospirosis and Leptospira seropositivity among patients with fever attending referral hospitals northern Tanzania. Methods enrolled from two Moshi, Tanzania, 2012–2014, performed microscopic agglutination testing on convalescent serum. Cases were participants four-fold rise antibody titers, or single...

Little is known about the epidemiology of human brucellosis in sub-Saharan Africa. This hampers prevention and control efforts at individual population levels. To evaluate risk factors for northern Tanzania, we conducted a study patients presenting with fever to two hospitals Moshi, Tanzania. Serum taken enrollment 4-6 week follow-up was tested by

Abstract Despite an abundance of mineral wealth and ancient history gold trading, Tanzania is a relative latecomer to the experience being mineral-dominated national economy. Both British colonial state Nyerere's post-colonial avoided encouraging, only reluctantly provided support to, large- small-scale mining. Farming constituted livelihood for vast majority population peasant agricultural exports main source foreign exchange country. Now, however, has become one Africa's producers number...

In light of Shiller's concept 'irrational exuberance', we interrogate migrants' optimistic material expectations at artisanal and industrial gold mining locations during a period exceptional mobility spurred by the international boom 2000–2013. Our household survey interview findings reveal miners' residents' settlement patterns in three Tanzanian settlements, representing different stages forms along trajectory deepening extraction increasing urbanization. Resident miners', traders' service...

Abstract This article focuses on the urbanizing impact of post‐millennial mineral boom at artisanal and small‐scale (ASM) or large‐scale (LSM) mining sites in three mineral‐rich countries, involving gold Ghana, diamonds Angola, both minerals Tanzania. The focus is comparing agency miners other residents migrating to, settling in, making site habitable. Their mobility settlement patterns reveal an urbanization trend marked by population agglomeration expanding labour complexity, taking...
