Experimental measures of intra-household resource control by Ambler, Kate, Jones, Kelly M., Recalde, María P.

“…We study experimental measures of preferences for intra-household resource control among 3387 couples in Ghana and Uganda. We implement two incentivized tasks: (1) a game that measures willingness to pay for resource control in the household, and (2) dictator games played privately and jointly by spouses. …”

Quantifying the level of under-detection of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense sleeping sickness cases by Odiit, M., Coleman, P.G., Liu, W.C., McDermott, John J., Fèvre, Eric M., Welburn, S.C., Woolhouse, Mark E.J.

“…To formally quantify the level of under-detection of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense sleeping sickness (SS) during an epidemic in Uganda, a decision tree (under-detection) model was developed; concurrently, to quantify the subset of undetected cases that sought health care but were not diagnosed, a deterministic (subset) model was developed. …”

Sequence characterization of a Peruvian isolate of sweet potato chlorotic stunt virus: Further variability and a model for p22 acquisition by Cuéllar, Wilmer Jose, Cruzado, R., Fuentes, S., Untiveros, M., Soto, M., Kreuze, Jan F.

“…We confirm that the ORF encoding p22 is lacking from m2-47 and all tested Peruvian and South American isolates, whereas additional isolates containing p22 were identified from Uganda. Other potentially important genomic differences such as two small ORFs encoding putative small hydrophobic proteins instead of one, upstream the hsp70h gene and a more divergent sequence at its RNA1 3′-UTR in contrast to SPCSV isolates that contain p22 are discussed and a model for recent acquisition of p22 in Uganda is proposed. …”
