The Sero-epidemiology of Neospora caninum in Cattle in Northern Tanzania
(Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2019-09-26)
Neospora caninum is a protozoan intracellular parasite of animals with a global
distribution. Dogs act as definitive hosts, with infection in cattle leading to reproductive
losses. Neosporosis can be a major source of ...
The genetic diversity of local african chickens: A potential for selection of chickens resistant to viral infections
(Poultry Science Association Inc., 2018)
Viral infections impose a great threat to backyard chicken production among poor rural
households in developing countries. These infections limit the contribution of chicken production
in improving the livelihoods of ...
The impact of malignant catarrhal fever virus challenge on physiological stress in cattle
(American Journal of Research Communication, 2014)
There is a lot of information in literature on animals succumbing to disease(s) after exposure to stressors. But little information is available on what happens to corticosterone hormones when animals are exposed to a ...
Impact of N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) on Tuberculosis (TB) Patients—A Systematic Review
(MDPI, 2022-11-21)
Sustained TB infection overproduces reactive oxygen species (ROS) as a host defense mechanism. Research shows ROS is destructive to lung tissue. Glutathione (GSH) neutralizes ROS, although it is consumed. NAC is a precursor ...
Performance of Tuberculosis Molecular Bacterial Load Assay Compared to Alere TB-LAM in Urine of Pulmonary Tuberculosis Patients with HIV Co-Infections
(MDPI, 2023-02-23)
Alternative tools are needed to improve the detection of M. tuberculosis (M. tb) in HIV co-infections. We evaluated the utility of Tuberculosis Molecular Bacterial Load Assay (TB-MBLA) compared to lipoarabinomannan (LAM) ...
Advancing the development and implementation of regional, national tuberculosis control programs in livestock in Africa, Asia, and Latin America
(Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2023-04-18)
Tuberculosis in livestock caused by members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTb) complex is a notifiable zoonotic animal disease (1), which has been eradicated or held to very low prevalence levels in many high-income ...
iMAP: an integrated bioinformatics and visualization pipeline for microbiome data analysis
(BioMed Central, 2019-07-03)
One of the major challenges facing investigators in the microbiome field is turning large numbers of reads generated by next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms into biological knowledge. Effective analytical workflows ...
Microbial Diversity in Bushmeat Samples Recovered from the Serengeti Ecosystem in Tanzania
(Nature Publishing Group UK, 2019-12-02)
Bushmeat, the meat and organs derived from wildlife species, is a common source of animal protein in the diets of those living in sub-Saharan Africa and is frequently associated with zoonotic spillover of dangerous pathogens. ...
Perception and Risk Factors Associated with Tuberculosis in the Manyara Region, Tanzania2
(MDPI, 2023-10-06)
Tuberculosis (TB) results from infection with members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) and represents a major global public health concern. We here sought to assess the perceptions of human and animal TB ...
Taenia multiceps in Northern Tanzania: An Important but Preventable Disease Problem in Pastoral and Agropastoral Farming Systems
(MDPI, 2022-08-26)
Coenurosis due to Taenia multiceps has emerged as a major concern to small ruminant-
owning communities in northern Tanzania. Although a high incidence of disease has been reported,
gaps still remain in our knowledge of ...
