Why, what, who and when: an overview of the Cassava Biotechnology Network (CBN) and current cassava biotechnology research worldwide
Biotechnology techniques, tools and products can offer time and cost savings for agricultural R & D. Biotech`s early start concentrated for the major part on highly commercial, primary crops and private sector labs. Biotech research involvement in a secondary crop like cassava has been relatively...

Biotechnologies applied to the diagnosis of disease, with special reference to trypanosomiasis and theileriosis of livestock
Advances in biotechnological techniques are driven by the needs of the human populations. The new techniques in biotechnology have been developed as a consequence of the integrated use of microbiology, biochemistry and chemical engineering. Some of these technologies are being employed in the der...

Application of biotechnology in disease diagnosis and vaccine Development
Although world cassava production has been increasing, it is shown that considerable cassava yield gaps still exist. Constraints are divided according to being endogenous and exogenous to the (plant and) production system. It is indicated that besides these constraints, considerable "adoption con...
In this paper genomic research is discussed with regard to prospects for improving livestock productivity. Topics of discussion include, constraints to livestock productivity in developing countries; biotechnology research at ILRI; improvement of rumen fermentation; livestock genetic resources an...
