One-hundred-eight stool samples, collected in a fishing village of Senegal from 72 apparently healthy subjects and from 36 patients with gastrointestinal disorders, were examined for the presence of Y. enterocolitica. After 1, 2, 3 weeks of cold enrichment with PBS 1/15M, pH 7.6, plating was performed on MacConkey Agar after use of the alkali method. No Yersinia strains were isolated.

Article Synopsis
- - A 6-year-old female huacaya alpaca was evaluated for severe health issues, including rapid weight loss and leukocytosis, revealing a large abdominal mass during examination.
- - Ultrasound imaging showed multiple masses, and surgery was performed but revealed inoperable conditions due to severe adhesion to the intestines.
- - The alpaca was euthanized due to poor prognosis, and the case highlighted the need to consider specific bacteria as a potential cause of abscesses and persistent inflammation in similar animals, noting zoonotic risks.

This article attempts to demonstrate how Charles Burns' graphic novel (1995) construes the prevalence of contagion and pathological transformation(s) as metaphors of social contamination operating within a biopolitics of segregation. Through a study of plague, infection and strange mutations in Burns' novel, this article offers a critical evaluation of the and investigates how portrays the social reception of a sexually contagious virus through conditions of sickness and exclusion, which become biopolitical in quality. It examines, through close reading, how Burns' novel uses metaphors of contagion, abjection and desire, often fusing those in order to foreground the complex intercorporeal state of the and in the process dramatises the urgent need to revaluate conventional strategies of isolation and otherisation through a reconsideration of the biopolitical notions around engagement, community and immunity.

Introduction: Rodents are quite common at livestock production sites. Their adaptability, high reproductive capacity and omnivorousness make them apt to become a source of disease transmission to humans and animals. Rodents can serve as mechanical vectors or active shedders of many bacteria and viruses, and their transmission can occur through direct contact, or indirectly through contaminated food and water or by the arthropods which parasitise infected rodents.

Humankind has lived with the danger of endemic, epidemic and pandemic disease for thousands of years. The effects of these outbreaks have often devastated human populations. Sixteen pandemic events causing an estimated 147 million deaths have occurred since the eighth century, The Black Death and the influenza pandemic of 1918-1920 probably having the greatest impact.

Human populations have been shaped by catastrophes that may have left long-lasting signatures in their genomes. One notable example is the second plague pandemic that entered Europe in ca. 1,347 CE and repeatedly returned for over 300 years, with typical village and town mortality estimated at 10%-40%.
