Seroprevalence and risk factors associated with brucellosis in humans and livestock in Nyagatare district of Rwanda
Background Brucellosis is a significant but under-reported bacterial zoonosis in Rwanda. Despite recognition as one of Rwanda's top six priority zoonotic diseases in 2019, comprehensive epidemiological data linking human and animal infections remain limited, particularly in high-risk pastoral communities. This study aimed to determine brucellosis seroprevalence and associated risk factors in humans and livestock in Nyagatare District, a major liv…
Seroprevalence and risk factors for brucellosis amongst livestock and humans in a multi-herd ranch system in Kagera, Tanzania
Background Brucellosis remains a significant health and economic challenge for livestock and humans globally. Despite its public health implications, the factors driving the endemic persistence of Brucella at the human-livestock interface in Tanzania remain poorly elucidated. This study aimed to identify the seroprevalence of Brucella infection in livestock and humans within a ranching system and determine associated risk factors for disease ende…
Take nothing for granted
Special Issues can surprise and frustrate in equal measure. Editorial expectations are often upended. The submissions imagined are not always those received or in the numbers anticipated. The questions that frame the call for papers seldom carry the same weight at the beginning and end of the editorial process. Yet somehow the academic publishing industry survives and thrives, commodifying scholarly inquiry based on virtually free labour inputs. …

History, Method, and Myth
This essay reconsiders Walter Rodney's How Europe Underdeveloped Africa (1972) via a discussion of Rodney's pedagogy and his methodology. The essay inquires into the relevance of Rodney's pedagogy and what it means to teach the book in the contemporary moment. To that end, the author first discusses Rodney's engagements with the University of California, Los Angeles, as part of a longer history of Black intellectual and political activism and the…
Land use-induced spillover
Earth systems are under ever greater pressure from human population expansion and intensifying natural resource use. Consequently, micro-organisms that cause disease are emerging and the dynamics of pathogens in wildlife are altered by land use change, bringing wildlife and people in closer contact. We provide a brief overview of the processes governing 'land use-induced spillover', emphasising ecological conditions that foster 'landscape immunit…
Rogue Bankers, Black Radicalism, and the Caribbean History of Racial Capitalism
This essay offers a response to two critical commentaries-from diplomatic historian Brenda Gayle Plummer and political theorist Clarisse Burden-Stelly-on the author's Bankers and Empire: How Wall Street Colonized the Caribbean. While locating both commentaries under the epistemological and political purview of the radical wing of black studies, the essay focuses on four topics that appear in Plummer's and Burden-Stelly's comments: (1) the questio…
Montreal 1968 and the Last Colonial Generation
Held at Montreal's McGill University from 11 to 14 October 1968, the "Congress of Black Writers: Toward the Second Emancipation-the Dynamics of Black Liberation" was dubbed the largest Black Power conference ever held outside the United States. In Moving Against the System: The 1968 Congress of Black Writers and the Making of Global Consciousness, David Austin has compiled the surviving transcripts of this historic gathering, including the speech…
Emerging human infectious diseases and the links to global food production
Infectious diseases are emerging globally at an unprecedented rate while global food demand is projected to increase sharply by 2100. Here, we synthesize the pathways by which projected agricultural expansion and intensification will influence human infectious diseases and how human infectious diseases might likewise affect food production and distribution. Feeding 11 billion people will require substantial increases in crop and animal production…

Which Parasites Should We be Most Concerned About in Wildlife Translocations
Interchange
This "Interchange" discussion took place online in late September and early October 2013.As with past interchanges, we encouraged participants to engage in a free-flowing discussion focused on our moderator's questions, their own perspectives and conjectures, and each other's comments.What follows is an edited version of the very lively online conversation that resulted
On the History and Historiography of Banking in the Caribbean
Although the historical impact of banking and financial institutions on the formation of the contemporary Caribbean has been profound and pervasive, the historical writing on banking and finance in the Caribbean has largely been neglected and marginalized. This essay explores the reasons behind this historiographical neglect while surveying the history of banking in the Caribbean across five hundred years and four overlapping eras—the prebanking …
The National City Bank of New York and Haiti, 1909 - 1922
This essay examines the expansion of the National City Bank of New York into Haiti between the years 1909 and 1922 to demonstrate that, while National City's interest in Haiti often overlapped with the US State Department's strategic goals for the Caribbean region, this interest also emerged in the context of National City's early-twentieth century internal managerial reforms that saw the bank diversify its operations and, in an attempt to evade …
"Germaine, Evangeline, and Other "Negro Girls
This essay unearths and recovers the Caribbean films and photographs made by New York School artist Rudy Burckhardt in the 1930s and 1940s. It argues that Burckhardt's work, especially his 1937 experimental film Haiti, deserves to be considered as part of a Caribbean visual archive. His deployment of a formalist practice of representation offers a visual strategy that allows him to evade the many racist and tropicalizing visual clichés and stereo…
Bridging Taxonomic and Disciplinary Divides in Infectious Disease
Pathogens traverse disciplinary and taxonomic boundaries, yet infectious disease research occurs in many separate disciplines including plant pathology, veterinary and human medicine, and ecological and evolutionary sciences. These disciplines have different traditions, goals, and terminology, creating gaps in communication. Bridging these disciplinary and taxonomic gaps promises novel insights and important synergistic advances in control of inf…

Impacts of biodiversity on the emergence and transmission of infectious diseases
Imperial designs
Canada's role in international affairs is generally cast in a favourable light, especially in contrast with the United States. Yet at the beginning of the twentieth century there was a brief period of imperialist rhetoric among the Canadian business elite, the bankers of Toronto and Montreal in particular, who argued the benefits of an annexationist policy for the British West Indies to complement their deepening financial links to the Caribbean …
Beyond the Rhetoric
In the fall of 1991, members of the Child and Family Services Research Group, Faculty of Social Work at the University of Manitoba and the Southeast Resource Development Council (SERDC) began meeting to plan a response to a special competition established by the then National Welfare Grants (NWG) of Health and Welfare Canada to conduct research on social service issues. At this meeting, SERDC identified the needs of adolescents as a priority conc…
Does the death row phenomenon violate a prisoner's human rights under international law
In countries retaining capital punishment, delay before execution is usually measured in years. A major cause of delay is the inmate's appeals to numerous tribunals. Excessive delay, even when caused by the prisoner, can form the basis of a human rights violation. The author points out that the human instinct to survive drives prisoners to appeal their death sentence. A state facilitating such a struggle may be in violation of human rights laws p…
