چکیده
Abstract We confirmed endemicity and autochthonous transmission of yaws in Liberia after a population-based, community-led burden estimation (56,825 participants). Serologically was rare focal at population level (24 cases; 2.6 [95% CI 1.4–3.9] cases/10,000 population) with similar clinical epidemiology to other endemic countries West Africa. Unsupervised classification spatially referenced case finding data indicated that more likely occur hard-to-reach communities; healthcare-seeking low among communities, awareness healthcare workers. recovered whole bacterial genomes from 12 cases describe monophyletic clade Treponema pallidum subspecies pertenue, phylogenetically distinct known TPE lineages, including those affecting neighboring nonhuman primate populations (Taï Forest, Côte d’Ivoire). Yaws is but exhibits prevalence evidence historical genetic bottleneck subsequent local expansion. Reporting gaps appear attributable challenging disease awareness.

متن کاملReal-time Recognition and Reidentification of Vehicles from Video Data with high Reidentification Rate
Using video cameras regions of cities can be monitored in order to extract traffic data. Stationary cameras fixed at high buildings can be used which provide data 24 hours a day. The data can be used, e.g., to optimize traffic flow by controlling traffic lights dynamically. In order to minimize the number of cameras it is useful to reidentify vehicles leaving one monitored region and afterwards...
