The story of elimination of visceral leishmaniasis (kala-azar) in India-Challenges towards sustainment. by Shyam Sundar

“…As a corollary benefit, there was a sharp decline in the incidence of VL due to the reduced prevalence of the vector to extremely low levels, resulting in substantial decreases in the number of KA cases. In the early 1970s, a surge in the number of cases was noted, and since then, it has taken the shape of the current epidemic. …”

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on rural communities: a cross-sectional study in the Sichuan Province of China by Mohsin Shafi, Junrong Liu, Deng Jian, Imran Ur Rahman, Xunwei Chen

“…Notably, we find that local households are worried about their income losses regardless of their socioeconomic status (40%–43%), level of income (37%–43%) and industry involvement (38%–43%). However, as income increases, the level of stress decreases. The results further show that government transfer payment is a significant factor in reducing stress due to its reliable and uninterrupted income flow. …”
