Efficacy of the diamidine DB75 and its prodrug DB289, against murine models of human African trypanosomiasis
(Elsevier, 2008)
The choice of drugs for the treatment of sleeping sickness is extremely limited. To redress this situation, the recently synthesised diamidine, 2,5-bis(4-amidinophenyl)-furan (DB75, furamidine) and its methamidoxime prodrug, ...
A botanical inventory and diversity assessment of Mt. Marsabit forest, a sub-humid montane forest in the arid lands of northern Kenya
(African Journal of Ecology, 2007)
A botanical inventory and diversity of trees, shrubs (‡5cm diameter at breast height [dbh]), herbs, climbers and lianas was assessed in plots (154) of 20 · 5 m in Mt. Marsabit forest, northern Kenya. We recorded 52 species ...
Hematological changes in vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops) during eight months' adaptation to captivity
(American Journal of Primatology, 2007)
This study investigated fluctuations in hematological values of 50 wild-caught vervet monkeys (African green monkeys, grivets, Chlorocebus aethiops) during habituation to captivity. The monkeys were categorized into four ...
Haematology of experimental Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense infection in vervet monkeys
(African Journal of Health Sciences,, 2006)
Haematological aberrations associated with human infective trypanosomes were investigated in the vervet monkey model of the Rhodesian sleeping sickness. Four monkeys were infected intravenously with 104 Trypanosoma brucei ...
Development of a rodent model for late stage rhodesian sleeping sickness
(National Research Center for Protozoan Diseases, 2007)
A mouse model of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense that can be used in pathogenesis and drug studies for Human African Trypanosomosis (HAT) has so far not been developed. In an attempt to develop such a model, a study was ...
Lymphosarcoma in Adult African Green Monkeys (Chlorocebus Aethiops)
(Journal of Laboratory Animal Scienc, 2007)
The clinical observations and pathological manifestations of lymphosarcoma in two African green monkeys are described. Monkeys had been caught from the wild. Prior to the development of neoplasms one monkey had been ...
Influence of cyclophosphamide on the haematological profile of laboratory bred African soft-furred rats (Mastomys natalensis)
(2005)
The African soft-furred rat (Mastomys natalensis) has been shown to be a possible model for propagation of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense. This study aimed at determining the baseline biological reference values and reproductive ...
Proinflammatory cytokine expression in the early phase of Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense infection in vervet monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops)
(2004)
A vervet monkey model of trypanosomiasis was used to study inflammatory cytokine responses in serum and cerebrospinal fuid (CSF). Gamma interferon levels were transiently up-regulated in serum between days 6 and 8 of ...
Polyploidy Breeding of African Nightshade (Solanum section Solanum)
(International Journal of Plant Breeding, 2007)
The perception of African nightshades (Solanum section Solanum) as “healthy” foods, supported by documentation of their high nutritional and medicinal benefits, has led to a sudden and steady upsurge in their consumption, ...
Partial Fertility Restoration as Affected by Night Temperature in a Season-dependent Male-sterile Mutant Tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.
(Journal of the Japanese Society for Horticultural Science, 2007-03-13)
This study was conducted to investigate the influence of night temperature on the restoration of fertility in a season-dependent male-sterile tomato mutant (T-4). Plants were grown in greenhouses, in which minimum and ...
