The Soviets evidently believe that the victory of a Soviet-supported national liberation movement has increased Soviet prestige in the Third World. The Soviets probably hope that Angola—where a substan- tial Cuban presence will probably remain for some [Omitted here is text unrelated to Africa.] time—may also assist the USSR in providing Soviets an entree to other national liberation movements in southern Africa—such as SWAPO. In October 1976 the Soviets signed a treaty of friendship and coopera- tion to consolidate their political position. In addition, they may hope to obtain access to port and air facilities as an alternative to those in Guinea. 95. Mozambique. Although not as extensive as that of the Chinese, Soviet aid in the form of military equipment, training, and funds assisted the Mozam- bique Liberation Front (FRELIMO) to come to power when Mozambique achieved independence in June 1975.

Equatorial Guinea Home to the Fourth Highest Species Richness of Primates in Africa Including Many Endemic Subspecies
U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Equatorial Guinea Home to the fourth highest species richness of primates in Africa including many endemic subspecies. Unsustainable hunting is the single greatest threat to the majority of wildlife in Equatorial Guinea’s forests. Equatorial Guinea’s national development plan, Horizonte 2020, has led to rapid infrastructure development which also represents a severe threat to the country’s wildlife and their habitat. New road network exacerbate commercial bushmeat hunting and trade by increasing access to forests and urban bushmeat markets. Higher income among the urban elite and a lack of suitable alternative protein options and jobs in rural areas is leading to an increase in bushmeat demand.

Equatorial Guinea) After Years of Disease Control Programmes Ana Hernández-González1,4, Laura Moya2,3, María J
Hernández-González et al. Parasites & Vectors (2016) 9:509 DOI 10.1186/s13071-016-1779-8 RESEARCH Open Access Evaluation of onchocerciasis seroprevalence in Bioko Island (Equatorial Guinea) after years of disease control programmes Ana Hernández-González1,4, Laura Moya2,3, María J. Perteguer1,4, Zaida Herrador2,4, Rufino Nguema4,5, Justino Nguema4,5, Pilar Aparicio2,4, Agustín Benito2,4 and Teresa Gárate1,4* Abstract Background: Onchocerciasis or “river blindness” is a chronic parasitic disease caused by the filarial worm Onchocerca volvulus, transmitted through infected blackflies (Simulium spp.). Bioko Island (Equatorial Guinea) used to show a high endemicity for onchocerciasis. During the last years, the disease control programmes using different larvicides and ivermectin administration have considerably reduced the prevalence and intensity of infection. Based on this new epidemiological scenario, in the present work we aimed to assess the impact of the strategies applied against onchocerciasis in Bioko Island by an evaluation of IgG4 antibodies specific for recombinant Ov-16 in ELISA. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Bioko Island from mid-January to mid-February, 2014. Twenty communities were randomly selected from rural and urban settings. A total of 140 households were chosen. In every selected household, all individuals aged 5 years and above were recruited; 544 study participants agreed to be part of this work. No previous data on onchocerciasis seroprevalence in the selected communities were available. Blood samples were collected and used in an “ELISA in-house” prepared with recombinant Ov-16, expressed and further purified. IgG4 antibodies specific for recombinant Ov-16 were evaluated by ELISA in all of the participants.

CDP/PLEN2015/7 Seventeenth Plenary Session of the Committee for Development Policy New York, 23 – 27 March 2015 Note by the Secretariat on Monitoring of Graduating Countries from the Category of Least Developed Countries Equatorial Guinea and Vanuatu1 I. Background Equatorial Guinea and Vanuatu are earmarked for graduation, following the recommendations by the CDP which were endorsed by ECOSOC in 2009 and 2012, respectively, and taken note of by the General Assembly in December 2013 (A/RES/68/18). General Assembly resolution A/67/221 invites the Governments of countries that are graduating from the LDC category to report annually to the CDP on the preparation of the transition strategy. In this note, the Secretariat presents a brief monitoring to provide an update on current conditions of both countries, for CDP’s deliberation as requested by ECOSOC in its resolution 2013/20. Governments will be invited to submit reports to CDP on the overview of the preparation of smooth transition strategy later in the year, following GA resolution 67/221. Table 1 presents the time line for monitoring reports on both countries. _______________________________________ 1A massive cyclone hit Vanuatu on 13 and 14 Marc 2015.
