“…The fact that this number is larger than 1 could stem from the fact that sick people may not visit their doctor. A recent estimation for several developed countries (Scallan et al 2005) shows that 20 percent of people sick with the same seasonal digestive infections we consider here visit a doctor. Applied to the previous estimation, this percentage suggests in fact that many people who have symptoms do vote on election days.…”

In this paper, we examine whether shocks in voting costs can impact elected representatives' quality, defined as the capacity to fund projects at the lowest cost. Using data on French municipalities and local variations in seasonal infections incidence as a shock on voting cost, we estimate that higher incidence lowers voter turnout, increases subsidies obtained by a municipality, decreases harmful financial decisions, and increases the municipality's investment in infrastructure. We present a model where these predictions would hold, in particular for municipalities with a high base level of turnout.

“…Approximately 95% of cases of human salmonellosis are associated with consumption of contaminated foods such as meat, poultry, eggs, milk, seafood and fresh produce [2,11] Salmonella species are a leading bacterial cause of acute gastroenteritis. Although the global human health impact of Salmonella infections has not been estimated, gastroenteritis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, worldwide, both in children under 5 years old and in the general population [14,15]. Salmonellosis constitutes an endemio-epidemic disease in Benin.…”

Objective: Salmonellae are facultative anaerobic Gram-negative rod-shaped bacteria generally 2-5 microns long by 0.5-1.5 microns wide and motile by peritrichous flagella. Salmonella spp are among the group of bacteria in the family Enterobacteriaceae commonly known as enteric bacteria that live in gastrointestinal tracts of warm-blooded animals. Worldwide surveillance data has demonstrated an overall increase in antibiotic resistance among nontyphoid Salmonella, although significant geographical and serotype variability exist. The use of medicinal plants in the treatment of salmonellosis has become more than compulsory nowadays especially with the new trend of antibiotic resistance and the effectiveness of the properties of these plants. The current study aimed to assess the importance of salmonellosis in Benin and the potentialities of treatment by medicinal plants. Materials and Methods:A systematic online search was performed whereby key-words such as "Salmonellae", "Salmonellosis Benin", "non-typhoidal salmonellosis", "Medicinal plants Benin" and "traditional plants Benin" were entered in PubMed database, Google Scholar and www.google.bj. Obtained articles were included based on the reliability of their source, the study area (basically Benin and Africa) and the topic. Results:Host factors predisposing to severe non-typhoidal Salmonellae infection include reduced gastric acidity, impaired cell mediated and humoral immunity, and impaired phagocytic function. Antimicrobial resistance in Salmonella can be associated with horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistant genes and with increased treatment failure and risk of invasive disease. Several scientists around the world have researched this matter and confirmed the antimicrobial properties of plants on bacterial infections mainly salmonellosis Conclusion:The use of medicinal plants in the treatment of salmonellosis has become more than compulsory nowadays especially with the new trend of antibiotic resistance and the effectiveness of the properties of these plants.

“…En base a lo anterior, el sistema de vigilancia de ETA indicó que en los dos últimos años (2009 y 2010), las mayores prevalencias en el tipo de alimento involucrado (cuando fue reportado) estuvo asociada al consumo de moluscos (24%), comidas preparadas (13%), carne de ave (9%) y mayonesa elaborada a partir de huevos frescos (casera) (10%). Nuestros resultados son similares a lo encontrado en referencias revisadas; por ejemplo, el Sistema de Vigilancia de Enfermedades Transmitidas por Alimentos que mantiene el CDC en sus informes, ha implicado a las comidas preparadas que contienen huevos como el alimento responsable de estos brotes 9 . Las ETA, de acuerdo a su comportamiento epidemiológico actual, seguirán requiriendo de nuestro esfuerzo y creatividad para lograr actuar oportunamente y proponer medidas de control acordes con la globalización de los productos alimenticios y la re-emergencia de patógenos.…”
