Association of LEI0258 Marker Alleles and Susceptibility to Virulent Newcastle Disease Virus Infection in Kuroiler, Sasso, and Local Tanzanian Chicken Embryos.
(Hindawi, 2020-04-08)
Newcastle disease (ND) control by vaccination and an institution of biosecurity measures is less feasible in backyard chicken in developing countries. Therefore, an alternative disease control strategy like the genetic ...
Classification and characterisation of livestock production systems in northern Tanzania.
(PLOS ONE, 2020-12-30)
Livestock keepers in sub-Saharan Africa face a range of pressures, including climate change, land loss, restrictive policies, and population increase. Widespread adaptation in response can lead to the emergence of new, ...
CD5+ B lymphocytes are the main source of antibodies reactive with non-parasite antigens in Trypanosoma congolense-infected cattle
(Blackwell Science Ltd, 1997)
Mice infected with African trypanosomes produce exceptionally large amounts of serum IgM, a
major part of which binds to non-trypanosome antigens such as trinitrophenol and single-strand
DNA. In this paper, we describe ...
Conserved, breed-dependent, and subline-dependent innate immune responses of Fayoumi and Leghorn chicken embryos to Newcastle disease virus infection.
(Scientific Reports, 2019-05-10)
Newcastle disease virus (NDV) is a threat to the global poultry industry, but particularly for smallholder farmers in low- and middle-income countries. Previous reports suggest that some breeds of chickens are less susceptible ...
Modeling the proteome of a Marek's disease transformed cell line: a natural animal model for CD30 overexpressing lymphomas.
(Proteomics, 2007-04-18)
Marek's disease (MD) in the chicken, caused by the highly infectious MD alpha-herpesvirus (MDV), is both commercially important and a unique, naturally occurring model for human T-cell lymphomas overexpressing the Hodgkin's ...
Molecular species identification of bushmeat recovered from the Serengeti ecosystem in Tanzania.
(PLOS ONE, 2020-09-14)
Bushmeat harvesting and consumption represents a potential risk for the spillover of endemic zoonotic pathogens, yet remains a common practice in many parts of the world. Given that the harvesting and selling of bushmeat ...
Sulfonamide residues in commercial layer chicken eggs in Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania
(American Journal of Research Communication, 2014)
Sulfonamides are used in poultry production for prevention and treatment of bacterial and protozoal infections. Misuse of these drugs or poor adherence to drug withdrawal period has resulted in reports of unacceptable ...
IncF Plasmids Are Commonly Carried by Antibiotic Resistant Escherichia coli Isolated from Drinking Water Sources in Northern Tanzania
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation International Journal of Microbiology, 2016)
The aim of this study was to identify the replicon types of plasmids, conjugation efficiencies, and the complement of antibiotic
resistance genes for a panel of multidrug resistant E. coli isolates from surface waters in ...
Neutralization of Interleukin-10 Significantly Enhances Gamma Interferon Expression in Peripheral Blood by Stimulation with Johnin Purified Protein Derivative and by Infection with Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis in Experimentally Infected Cattle with Paratuberculosis
(American Society for Microbiology, 2014-04)
Monoclonal antibody neutralization of interleukin-10 (IL-10) increased Johnin purified protein derivativeinduced
whole-blood gamma interferon (IFN- ) secretion 23-fold and also increased IFN- secretion ninefold
following ...
Intestinal Schistosomiasis among Primary Schoolchildren in Two On-Shore Communities in Rorya District, Northwestern Tanzania: Prevalence, Intensity of Infection and Associated Risk Factors
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2016-09-15)
In Tanzania, Schistosoma mansoni is of great public health importance. Understanding the prevalence and infection intensity is
important for targeted, evidence-based control strategies.This study aimed at studying the ...
