There is increasing concern regarding the quality and safety of milk collected and consumed in Tanzania. The majority of milk is obtained in informal distribution channels where animals have unknown health status and good milking and handling practices are often not observed. These factors may co...

BACKGROUND
Despite the fact that foods of animal source are a minor constituent in most diets, they are responsible for incidents of food-borne illness; dairy products being implicated. Up to 90% of all dairy – related diseases are due to pathogenic bacteria found in milk. Emergence of new milk-...

Introduction
Yellow fever continues to be a problem in sub-Saharan Africa with repeated epidemics occurring. The mosquito Aedes bromeliae is a major vector of yellow fever, but it cannot be readily differentiated from its non-vector zoophilic sister species Ae. lilii using morphological character...

Increasing globalization has promoted the spread of exotic species, including disease vectors. Understanding the evolutionary processes involved in such colonizations is both of intrinsic biological interest and important to predict and mitigate future disease risks. The Aedes aegypti mosquito is...
