The free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a key laboratory model for metazoan biology. C. elegans has also become a model for parasitic nematodes despite being only distantly related to most parasitic species. All of the ∼65 Caenorhabditis species currently in culture are free-living, wi...

Globally, malaria remains one of the most important vector-borne diseases despite the extensive use of vector control, including indoor residual spraying (IRS) and insecticide-treated nets (ITNs). These control methods target endophagic vectors, whereas some malaria vectors, such as Anopheles ara...

Wildebeest-associated malignant catarrhal fever (WA-MCF), a fatal disease of cattle caused by alcelaphine herpesvirus 1 (AlHV-1), is one of the most important seasonal diseases of cattle in wildebeest endemic areas, with annual incidence reaching 10%. Here we report efficacy of over 80% for a vac...

The performance of indigenous Begait cattle (498 cows, 284 calves, and 48 heifers) in northern Ethiopia was studied. System of herd management significantly (P < 0.01) influenced all production traits. Calves in medium-input herds (MIHM) grew faster than those in low-input herds (LIHM), by 232 g/...

Studies the seasonal response of zebu cattle in Adamawa. Growth of calves before weaning were evaluated on two genetically distinct herds: 248 males and 229 females Metis Brahma, 110 males and 105 females Fulani breed. The birth weight, the monthly weights up to the 8 months age and the daily ave...

The influence of some ecological and physiological factors on weight of cows at Wakwa station in Cameroon were studied in a year. Two populations genetically different were compared: 110 cows of the local Foulani breed and 134 cows of ½ breed Brahman x Foulani. The following conclusions were dra...

The purpose of the study was to determine some standard blood constituents of Gudali cattle raised in the north-west province of Cameroon. Two series of blood samples were succesively taken from 189 and 141 male and female cattle to determine the leucocytic and erythrocytic values. No significant...

A genetic study of the grading-up of the East African zebu to the Indian Sahiwal has been undertaken on records, covering about 25 years, from three livestock Improvement Centres in Kenya. It appears from this study that the indigenous East African zebu cow has only about half the genetic potenti...
