Acute and Subacute Oral Toxicity Evaluation of Commiphora Campestris Methanolic Stem Bark Extract (CASBMCE) In Mice and Rats
(Juniper Publishers, 2017-11-16)
This study was done to evaluate the acute and sub acute toxicity of Camiphora campestris Methanolic Stem Bark Extract (CASBMCE). In acute toxicity tests four groups of mice (n=5/group/sex) were orally treated with doses ...
A systematic review of antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli and Salmonella data obtained from Tanzanian healthcare settings (2004-2014)
(African Journal of Microbiology Research, 2017-01-14)
Antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli and Salmonella are an increasing challenge to global health. In
Tanzania reliable data is limited for trends of resistance in major hospital-acquired pathogens. Data on
the prevalence ...
A review of the biology and detection methods of Cryptosporidium and Giardia spp in water sources and situation in Tanzania
(World Journal of Water Resource and Environmental Science, 2014-04)
Cryptosporidium and Giardia species are the two most common enteric protozoan pathogens which affect humans worldwide. In both developed and developing countries. In immunocompetent individuals they cause self limiting ...
Acute oral toxicity study of Mystroxylon aethiopicum root bark aqueous extract in albino mice
(Journal of Medicinal Plants Research, 2016-10-03)
Acute oral toxicity of Mystroxylon aethiopicum root bark aqueous was evaluated in albino mice of either
sex. In this study, five groups of mice were orally treated with doses of 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000 and 5000
mg/kg body ...
Analysis of factors influencing information access among rural communities in Tanzania
(Journal of Agricultural Extension and Rural Development, 2017-09)
Information access in rural communities of Tanzania is very important as it keeps its members aware of
what happened and what happening in the world. This importance can not be undermined since it
helps farmers and other ...
Curdlan-Conjugated PLGA Nanoparticles Possess Macrophage Stimulant Activity and Drug Delivery Capabilities
(Springer, 2015-03-28)
Purpose There is significant interest in the application of nanoparticles
to deliver immunostimulatory signals to cells.We hypothesized
that curdlan (immune stimulating polymer) could be conjugated
to PLGA and nanoparticles ...
Comparative in vitro transportation of pentamidine across the blood-brain barrier using polycaprolactone nanoparticles and phosphatidylcholine liposomes
(Taylor & Francis Group., 2019-04-22)
Nanoparticles (NPs) have gained importance in addressing drug delivery challenges across biological
barriers. Here, we reformulated pentamidine, a drug used to treat Human African Trypanosomiasis
(HAT) in polymer based ...
In vivo uptake and acute immune response to orally administered chitosan and PEG coated PLGA nanoparticles
(Elsevier, 2010-09-17)
Nanoparticulate drug delivery systems offer great promise in addressing challenges of drug toxicity, poor
bioavailability and non-specificity for a number of drugs. Much progress has been reported for nano drug
delivery ...
Effects of Growth Conditions on the Forms of Xenorhabdus nematophila: A Symbiotic Bacterium of the Entomopathogenic Steinernema carpocapsae
(Ingenta, 2019-06)
Xenorhabdus nematophila (X . nematophila) is a mutualistic gram negative bacterium, associated with the entomopathogenic nematodes of the genus Steinernema. The nematode-bacterial complexes increase the pathogen's ability ...
Sustainable Crop Protection Using Nematodes (Steinernema Spp) as Biological Control Agents
(American Scientific Publishers, 2019-06-01)
Crop productions play an important role in food production, raw material production and income generation. Crop production is challenged by pest infestation with new outbreaks every now and then, reducing yield and increasing ...
