A critical review of policies and legislation protecting Tanzanian wetlands

Materu, Silvia Francis; Urban, Brigitte; Heise, Susanne (Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group on behalf of the Ecological Society of China., 2018)

Introduction: The benefit of wetlands for reducing poverty depends on the effectiveness of governance systems that influence peoples’ behaviour in the wise use of wetlands. Objectives: This article critically analyses ...
Detection of porcine cysticercosis in meat juice samples from infected pigs

Maganira, Justine Daudi; Kidima, Winifrida; Mwita, Chacha John; Höglund, Johan (Springer, 2021)

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. ...
Dhfr and dhps mutations in plasmodium falciparum isolates in Mlandizi, Kibaha, Tanzania: association with clinical outcome

Kidima, W; Nkwengulila, G.; Premji, Z.; Malisa, A.; Mshinda, H (Tanzania Health Research Bulletin, 2006-05)

Sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP), the current first line antimalarial drug in Tanzania, is compromised by evolution and spread of mutations in the parasite's dhfr and dhps genes. In the present study we established the ...
Dietary risk assessment of selected organophosphoris and pyrethoid pesticide residues in fresh harvested tomatoes at Makambako town, Njombe region, Tanzania

Bilaro, Jansen S.; Materu, Silvia F.; Temba, Benigni A. (Taylor and Francis, 2022)

This study aimed to assess the levels of selected pesticides residues in harvested tomatoes and their associated dietary risks to consumers at Makambako Town in Njombe region, Tanzania. Forty-two fresh tomatoes were ...
Diversity of riparian ground beetles (coleoptera, carabidae) at three altitudes in Uluguru Mountains, Tanzania

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 ...
Drug coverage in treatment of malaria and the consequences for resistance evolution – evidence from the use of sulphadoxine/ pyrimethamine

Malisa, Allen L.; Pearce, Richard J.; Abdulla, Salim; Mshinda, Hassan; Kachur, Patrick S.; Bloland, Peter; Roper, Cally (Malaria Journal, 2010)

Background: It is argued that, the efficacy of anti-malarials could be prolonged through policy-mediated reductions in drug pressure, but gathering evidence of the relationship between policy, treatment practice, drug ...
