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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
