Abstract:
Soil-transmitted helminthiasis affects more than 1.5 billion people globally and largely remains a sanitary problem in Africa. These infections place a huge economic burden on poor countries and affect livestock production, causing substantial economic losses and poor animal health. The emergence of anthelmintic resistance, especially in livestock, and the potential for its widespread in humans create a need for the development of alternative therapies. Medicinal plants play a significant role in the management of parasitic diseases in humans and livestock, especially in Africa. This report re

Abstract:
Southern root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne incognita, feed on the underground portions of hundreds of plant species and affect nutrient partitioning and water uptake of the host plants. Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) is often not significantly damaged by southern root-knot nematodes (RKN) but some sorghum genotypes support greater population densities of RKN than other genotypes. These higher nematode populations increase the risk of damage to subsequently planted susceptible crops. A previous study identified a major quantitative trait locus (QTL) for RKN resistance on sorghum chromosome (chr.) 3.

The FAW eggs, first, second and third instar larvae and moths were exposed to rabbit urine-treated maize leaves alongside untreated maize leaves (control). More FAW larvae (46.0–70.0%) remained on the untreated leaves than those (27.0–43.0%) on the rabbit urine-treated leaves. Rabbit urine caused 6.4 and 12.8% damage

An orbitally induced increase in summer insolation during the last glacial-interglacial transition enhanced the thermal contrast between land and sea, with land masses heating up compared to the adjacent ocean surface. In North Africa, warmer land surfaces created a low-pressure zone, driving the northward penetration of monsoonal rains originating from the Atlantic Ocean. As a consequence, regions today among the driest of the world were covered by permanent and deep freshwater lakes, some of them being exceptionally large, such as the “Mega” Lake Chad, which covered some 400 000 square kilom

Abstract Seed harvesting by ants refers to the removal and subsequent consumption of seeds (i.e. seed predation), as distinct from the dispersal of seeds possessing an ant-attracting appendage (i.e. myrmecochory). Outside Australia, seed harvesting is primarily a phenomenon of arid regions. The seeds of ephemeral plants represent a valuable food source in desert environments, which typically support large populations of granivores, mostly rodents, birds, and ants (Mares and Rosenzweig 1978; Brown et al. 1979; Abramsky 1983).

Nowhere is the effect of heavy grazing more apparent than in the Sahel of Africa (Sinclair and Fryxell 1985).
