An experimental hut study to quantify the effect of DDT and airborne pyrethroids on entomological parameters of malaria transmission.
(Malaria Journal, 2014-04-01)
Background
Current malaria vector control programmes rely on insecticides with rapid contact toxicity. However, spatial repellents can also be applied to reduce man-vector contact, which might ultimately impact malaria ...
Cytotoxicity activity of some wild mushroom species from Southern Highlands of Tanzania
(American Journal of Research Communication, 2014)
The crude extracts from six wild mushroom species (Russula cellulata,
Afrocantharellussymoensis, Lactarius sp, Lactarius denigricans, Russula kivuensis, Amanita
muscaria and Amanita phalloides) collected from the Southern ...
Wild edible mushroom value chain for improved livelihoods in Southern Highlands of Tanzania
(American Journal of Research Communication, 2014)
A survey was conducted to assess mycological knowledge and socio-economic benefits along the wild
edible mushrooms value chain among Benna and Hehe ethnic groups in the Southern Highlands of
Tanzania. The mushroom hunters, ...
Assessing Vulnerability of Food Availability to Climate Change in Hai District, Kilimanjaro Region, Tanzania
(Scientific Research Publishing Inc, 2014-09)
Climate change has a large effect on agriculture sector and, consequently, on the food available for residents of Hai District and other regions of Tanzania. Based on four decades of climate data, this study assessed the ...
Effects of acetylcholine and electrical stimulation on glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor production in skeletal muscle cells
(Elsevier, 2014-11-07)
Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is a neurotrophic factor required for survival of neurons in the central and peripheral nervous system. Specifically, GDNF has been characterized as a survival factor for ...
Comparative analysis of clinical breakpoints, normalized resistance interpretation and epidemiological cut-offs in interpreting antimicrobial resistance of Escherichia coli isolates originating from poultry in different farm types in Tanzania
(Microbiology Society, 2014-07-14)
Introduction. Existing breakpoint guidelines are not optimal for interpreting antimicrobial resistance (AMR) data from animal
studies and low-income countries, and therefore their utility for analysing such data is limited. ...
Efficiency of a constructed wetland in removing microbial contaminants from pre-treated municipal wastewater
(Elsevier, 2014)
In most capital towns, urban wastewater discharging into the environment is highly enriched in a wide range of microbial contaminants, thus threatening people’s health and the quality of the receiving basin water and other ...
Preparation of rifampicin/poly(d,l-lactice) nanoparticles for sustained release by supercritical assisted atomization technique
(Elsevier, 2014-11)
In this work supercritical assisted atomization (SAA) process was used for the co-precipitation of poly(d,l-lactide) (PDLLA) and rifampicin (RIF) as nanoparticles for sustained release applications. The effect of the ...
Preparation, characterization, and optimization of primaquine-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles
(Dovepress, 2014-08-11)
Primaquine (PQ) is one of the most widely used antimalarial drugs and is the only available drug that combats the relapsing form of malaria. PQ use in higher doses is limited by severe tissue toxicity including hematological- ...
