The assemblages of benthic macroinvertebrates in mangroves and open intertidal areas of the Dar es Salaam coast,
Tanzania, was investigated in 2013–2014, revealing 56 species. Higher density, species richness and diversity ...
The presence ofTaenia solium DNA from eggs in soils around the households in four
Tanzanian villages in Kongwa district were analysed in relation to seasonal fluctuations and
infection risk implications. A total of 192 ...
The aim of this study was to investigate exposure to porcine cysticercosis (PC) and associated
risk factors in the Kongwa District, eastern-central Tanzania. For the first time a
cross-sectional investigation of the ...

Small-scale subsistence farmers keep over 80% of the pigs in Tanzania as a
backyard activity in mixed agro-ecological farming systems under unhygienic
conditions that risk persistency of zoonoses including Taenia solium ...
Maganira, Justine Daudi; Nyundo, B. A.(Research Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, 2015)
The diversity of riparian ground beetles at three altitudes (Low: 400-1100m a.s.l., Mid: 1100-
1800 m a.s.l., High: 1800-2500 m a.s.l.) in Uluguru Mountains was investigated. The samples of ground beetles
were collected ...
To enable the detection of taeniid eggs in environmental samples, a sensitive technology is required. In this
study, we validated the effectiveness of a digital droplet Polymerase Chain Reaction (ddPCR) assay for ...
Background Seroprevalence of porcine cysticercosis has been generally studied using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays
(ELISA) detecting either antigens or antibodies in sera. However, serum is not always readily available. ...

Understanding about land cover and land use (LCLU) changes, as well as the associated impacts
on ecosystem service values (ESV) is extremely important in the management of coastal
ecosystems globally. Thus, this study ...

Understanding the role played by forest diversity to supply non-timber forest products for
income and food supplements of households is important in forest management and human life.
This study was conducted to investigate ...

Salt water intrusion is a challenge on production of human staple foods Zea mays and Oryza sativa in the changing climate, along the global coastal zones. Information on how salinity affects these crops is essential in ...
Ligate, E. J; Chen, C.; Wu, C.(International journal of environment and climate change, 2018)
Estimation of carbon in the forests located in the coast of tropics is needed to support
conservation and forest monitoring strategies. This study aimed at quantifying carbon stocks in the
regenerating tree species of ...

In vitro pollen germination provides a novel approach and strategy to accelerate genetic
improvement of tree breeding. Studies about pollen germination and tube growth of Chinese fir are
limited. Therefore, this study ...
It is critical to understand how forests regenerate
after the exclusion of human induced disturbances because
the regenerating species drive the renewal of resources and
ecosystems, which in turn support human beings ...
