Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The phleboviruses The sandfly-transmitted viruses are all within the Bunyavirus group, the phleboviruses; globally, some 45 viruses are associated with sandflies. Sandfly fever, which is widespread in southern Europe and the Middle East, has not been found in the USA or Canada. In fact the only phlebovirus which is known to occur in the USA is Rio Grande virus which was isolated in Texas from pack rats ( Neotoma micropus ) (Calisher et al. , 1977). The infectious agent has not been reported from humans. Most phleboviruses are associated with sandflies. A notable exception is Rift Valley fever which is found in Africa, Egypt and, most recently, in Saudi Arabia and Yemen. The infection, transmitted by culicine mosquitoes, causes severe illness and mortality in man and animals and, as has been noted earlier, the movement of the infectious agent should be kept under close surveillance to prevent its entry to the Americas. Leishmaniasis Leishmaniasis occurs focally in the Americas from Yucatan, Mexico, through Central and South America to the Peruvian Andes. The pathogenic New World species include the Leishmania braziliensis complex ( L. braziliensis, L. panamensis and L. guyanensis ), L. mexicana complex ( L. mexicana, L. amazonensis, L. venezuelensis ), L. peruviana and L. chagasi . Several foci of endemic leishmaniasis have been reported in the USA. Autochthonous human cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) caused by Leishmania mexicana appears to be limited to south central Texas and perhaps Oklahoma in the USA; the infection is not found in Canada other than as an imported infection or, in a single instance, in a dog.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
