Population size estimates and distribution of the African elephant using the dung surveys method in Rubondo Island National Park, Tanzania
(International Journal of Biodiversity and Conservation, 2016-06)
A study to estimate population size and distribution of elephants in the Rubondo Island National Park
(RINP) was conducted between March and July 2014. It involved elephant dung survey methods. In
estimating elephant ...
Intercropping System, Rhizobia Inoculation, Phosphorus and Potassium Fertilization: A Strategy of Soil Replenishment for Improved Crop Yield
(International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences, 2016-10)
The significant constraint to legumes and cereal crop production in most sub-
Saharan Africa countries is the loss of soil fertility. The most limiting soil nutrients
are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) ...
Load and Prevalence of Antimicrobial-Resistant Escherichia coli from Fresh Goat Meat in Arusha, Tanzania
(Journal of Food Protection, 2016)
Given the potential public health risks associated with a burgeoning goat meat industry in Tanzania, we estimated the load of
Escherichia coli and the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant strains for goat meat by using a ...
Prevalence of Group A Rotavirus in Piglets in a Peri-Urban Setting of Arusha, Tanzania
(Scientific Research Publishing Inc., 2016-01-07)
Aims: Rotavirus-associated enteritis is a major problem in livestock, notably in young piglets and
calves, and is also a zoonosis. It is also associated with diarrhoea mainly in children less than five
years of age. In ...
Prevalence Of Brucellosis In Livestock And Incidences In Humans In East Africaprevalence Of Brucellosis In Livestock And Incidences In Humans In East Africa
(African Crop Science Journal, 2016)
Brucellosis is an emerging zoonotic disease that poses a threat to both livestock and public health in east Africa.
There are several reports of occurrence of the disease in livestock populations especially in Tanzania ...
Prevalence of brucellosis in the human, livestock and wildlife interface areas of Serengeti National Park, Tanzania.
(AOSIS, 2016-05-24)
Between 2005 and 2006, a cross-sectional survey was carried out in domestic ruminants in agropastoral communities of Serengeti district, Tanzania to determine the seroprevalence of brucellosis in domestic-wildlife interface ...
Development, characterization and antimalarial efficacy of dihydroartemisinin loaded solid lipid nanoparticles.
(Elsevier, 2016-04-01)
Effective use of dihydroartemisinin (DHA) is limited by poor water-solubility, poor pharmacokinetic profile and unsatisfactory clinical outcome especially in monotherapy. To reduce such limitations, we reformulated DHA ...
Surface waters in northern Tanzania harbor fecal coliform and antibiotic resistant Salmonella spp. capable of horizontal gene transfer
(African Journal of Microbiology Research, 2016-03-21)
Some Salmonella spp. are important pathogenic bacteria that can be transmitted to people via food and
water and that can cause disease characterized by mild to severe enteric and systemic illness. In
developing countries, ...
Effect of Rhizobium and Intercropping Systems on Soil Nutrients and Biological Nitrogen Fixation as Influenced by Legumes (Phaseolus vulgaris and Dolichos lablab)
(International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences, 2016-10-10)
The study was conducted to assess the effect of Rhizobium inoculation and
intercropping systems on soil nutrients improvement and biological nitrogen
fixation as influenced by two legumes (Phaseolus vulgaris and Dolichos ...
Improving Soil Fertility and Crops Yield through Maize-Legumes (Common bean and Dolichos lablab) Intercropping Systems
(Canadian Center of Science and Education, 2016-11-15)
Declining crops yield in the smallholder farmers cropping systems of sub-Saharan African (SSA) present the
need to develop more sustainable production systems. Depletion of essential plant nutrients from the soils have
been ...
