Genome Scan for Variable Genes Involved in Environmental Adaptations of Nubian Ibex
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG., 2021-06-17)
The Nubian ibex (Capra nubiana) is a wild goat species that inhabits the Sahara and Arabian deserts and is adapted to extreme
ambient temperatures, intense solar radiation, and scarcity of food and water resources. To ...
Reservoir dynamics of rabies in south-east Tanzania and the roles of cross-species transmission and domestic dog vaccination
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2021-08-21)
Understanding the role of different species in the transmission of multi-host pathogens, such as rabies virus, is vital for effective control strategies. Across most of sub-Saharan Africa domestic dogs Canis familiaris are ...
TB or not TB? Definitive determination of species within the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex in unprocessed sputum from adults with presumed multidrug-resistant tuberculosis
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2021-06-09)
objectives Differences among Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) species may predict
drug resistance or treatment success. Thus, we optimised and deployed the genotype MTBC assay
(gMTBC) to identify MTC to the species ...
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 ...
Patterns of multimorbidity and their association with hospitalisation: a population-based study of older adults in urban Tanzania.
(Oxford University Press, 2021-03-26)
Background
while the HIV epidemic remains a considerable challenge in sub-Saharan Africa, a dramatic reduction in the associated mortality has led to a fundamental shift in the public health priorities aimed at tackling ...
Estimating the risk of aflatoxin-induced liver cancer in Tanzania based on biomarker data.
(PLOS ONE, 2021-03-11)
Evidence about the magnitude of the aflatoxin menace can help policy makers appreciate the importance of the problem and strengthen policies to support aflatoxin mitigation measures. In this study, we estimated aflatoxin-induced ...
Genomics of Adaptations in Ungulates
(MDPI, 2021-05-29)
Ungulates are a group of hoofed animals that have long interacted with humans as essential sources of food, labor, clothing, and transportation. These consist of domesticated, feral, and wild species raised in a wide range ...
