Abstract

Human population growth, climate change and economic development are causing major environmental modifications in Western Africa, which will have important repercussions on the epidemiology of sleeping sickness. A new initiative, the Atlas of human African trypanosomiasis (HAT), aims at assembling and geo-referencing all epidemiological data derived from both active screening activities and passive surveillance. A geographic database enables to generate up-to-date disease maps at a range of scales and of unprecedented spatial accuracy. We present preliminary results for seven West African countries (Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Guinea, Mali and Togo) and briefly discuss the relevance of the Atlas for future monitoring, control and research activities.

6. The Effects of GDP Per Capita on Infant Mortality Rates

Author

Schwartz, Alex, Franco, J.R., Campbell, Jake, Schwartz, Alex, Franco, J.R., and Campbell, Jake

Abstract

For questions contact ScholarsRepository@fhsu.edu, We investigate the influence that the Growth Domestic Product (GDP) has upon the infant mortality rate. Our study comes from research from "World Development Indicators" from the Databank. The results from our regression explain 87.17% of total variation of infant mortality from the variables used. Our findings showed that GDP is negatively correlated with infant mortality. The findings are consistent with previous studies on the determinants of infant mortality rates.
