Multiple anthropogenic pressures challenge the effectiveness of protected areas in western Tanzania
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2022-03-29)Despite being key conservation instruments, the ecological effectiveness of protected areas (PAs) is contested. To assess the ecological effectiveness of PAs in the Katavi-Rukwa Ecosystem (KRE) in western Tanzania, we ... -
Multiple ecosystem services from field margin vegetation for ecological sustainability in agriculture: scientific evidence and knowledge gaps.
(PubMed, 2019-11-28)Background Field margin and non-crop vegetation in agricultural systems are potential ecosystem services providers because they offer semi-natural habitats for both below and above ground animal groups such as soil organisms, ... -
Multiple Pathogens Contribute to Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Related Sepsis in Addition to Mycobacterium tuberculosis: A Prospective Cohort in Tanzania
(PubMed Central, 2022-10-20)Background: Mortality from tuberculosis (TB) sepsis is common among patients living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV). We aimed to detect M. tuberculosis (MTB) and additional sepsis etiologies, and mortality ... -
Multiplex paper-based designs for point-of-care (POC) diagnostics
(International Journal of Research in Medical Sciences, 2018-11)Background: Accurate and timely diagnosis is usually the first step towards appropriate disease management. In resource-limited settings, healthcare workers lack proper facilities to perform vital tests, and the diagnosis ... -
Mungongo Seeds Oil (Schinziophyton rautanenii) as a Potential Source of Bio-Diesel
(Scientific.Net, 2014-01)Biodiesel from mungongo seeds oil (Schinziophyton rautanenii) was investigated in the present study to determine its suitability for use as substitute of petro diesel. The fuel properties of Mungongo Oil Methyl ester (MOME) ... -
Mycobactericidal Effects of Different Regimens Measured by Molecular Bacterial Load Assay among People Treated for Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis in Tanzania
(American Society for Microbiology, 2021-02-03)Rifampin or multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (RR/MDR-TB) treatment has largely transitioned to regimens free of the injectable aminoglycoside component, despite the drug class’ purported bactericidal activity early in ... -
Mycobacterium bovis in rural Tanzania: Risk factors for infection in human and cattle populations
(Elsevier Ltd., 2007-01)Although bovine tuberculosis is widespread throughout Africa, very little is known about risk factors for Mycobacterium bovis infection in either human or cattle populations. A human case–control study was conducted in ... -
