In Canada, there are two known regional foci where wildlife populations are infected with bovine tuberculosis (Mycobacterium bovis) and considered to be disease reservoirs.
ACRE has a global focus and this has led to the development of various regional foci, covering Chile, the Pacific, China, Meso-America, the Indian Ocean, Africa, and Antarctica all of which are at various stages of development.
Unfortunately, the predominance of WNV surveillance remains restricted to limited regional foci.
This sample was adequate for the analyses and comparisons and useful in the identification of socio-economic and regional foci that could guide maternal health policy interventions in Uganda.
Despite the obvious significance of this group for biogeographic studies, previous molecular studies have either had specific regional foci (e.g. Africa [ 11- 13]; Philippines: [ 14]; Australia: [ 15, 16] ; Eurasia: [ 17, 18]) or employed immunological methods of uncertain reliability [ 10].
Regional brain volume meta-analyses were done by extracting regional foci data (MNI or Talairach coordinates) from each paper and using ALE [ 30- 32] to create brain maps of surviving significant regional differences across studies.
