Diverse Antigen-specific Antibody and Atopic Responses In Schistosomiasis and Malaria Co-infected Individuals.
(2016-04)
The study was part of a huge schistosomiasis survey investigating schistosomiasis in the human model and was conducted in the Mashonaland East Province of Zimbabwe (31o 30‘E; 17o 45‘S) at Magaya and Chitate schools where ...
Nutritional composition, antioxidant activity and bioaccessibility of phenolic compounds in selected wild cereal and pseudo-cereal grains found in Zimbabwe
(2016-04)
The nutritional composition of five wild and two domesticated cereal grains was determined using standard analytical methods. It was hypothesised that wild cereal and pseudo cereal grains found in Zimbabwe contained macro ...
Phytochemical and analgesic activity of root crude extracts of Dicoma niccolifera wild (Asteraceae)
(Open Science Publishers, 2013-03-09)
The study aimed at evaluating the phytochemical profile and anti-nociception activity of root crude extracts of D. niccolifera, a plant commonly used to alleviate painful conditions by local communities. Standard phytochemical ...
Distribution modelling of Leptocybe Invasa (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), and an assessment of host susceptibility and relative efficacies of systemic insecticides for gum seedling protection in Zimbabwe
(2017-11-16)
Studies were conducted from February 2015 to December 2015 to predict the potential distribution of the blue gum chalcid or Eucalyptus gall wasp, Leptocybe invasa Fisher and La Salle in Zimbabwe, to screen locally available ...
Isolation and Characterisation of a Bacteria with Cellulase Activity from Local Hot Springs.
(2012-08-28)
A sporulating, aerobic Bacillus subtilis sp. was isolated from the Chimanimani hot spring in Zimbabwe. The microorganism was characterised using classical identification tools and molecular techniques. The microbial strain ...
Design and consruction of microcontroller-based multi-parameter monitoring system.
(2012-09-07)
Many farmers and agricultural research groups need environmental data to augment their agricultural measurements. Such data is needed to understand the physical environment that includes the climate in general, and the ...
POSSIBLE SIMPLIFIED RATE MODELS FOR THE STUDY OF THE EMISSION SIGNAL ENHANCEMENT DUE TO EASILY IONIZABLE ELEMENTS DURING FLAME ATOMIC EMISSION (FAES) AND INDUCTIVELY COUPLED PLASMA OPTICAL EMISSION SPECTROMMETRY (ICP-OES)
(2012-08-02)
The effects of excess Na and K on K and Mg atom line emission during air-acetylene flame atomic spectrometry (FAES), and of excess Li and K on Ca, Mg and Sr atom and ion lines in the inductively coupled plasma (ICP), were ...
Experimental investigation and modelling of condensation of a rose crop in a greenhouse in Zimbabwe
(2012-09-12)
The main aim of this study was to experimentally determine the conditions when dew forms on leaf surfaces from measured ambient conditions, and to adapt an appropriate vegetative condensation model to describe and predict ...
Nutritional content, phenolic compounds composition and antioxidant activities of selected indigenous vegetables of Zimbabwe
(2014-07-21)
Foods of plant origin may contain many phytochemical compounds such as phenolic
compounds in addition to commonly identified nutrients. Interest in phenolic compounds
has greatly increased recently because these ...
Remote sensing of waterhole distribution and its impact on wildlife and livestock interactions across a gradient of land use in a Southern African savanna
(2014-10-07)
Arid and semi-arid ecosystems are water limited ecosystems. Thus, understanding the spatial and
temporal dynamics in water availability is critical. In this study, we tested whether and to what
extent we can use remotely ...
