A STUDY ON THE MALARIA VECTOR (ANOPHELES SPP) IN A SUDANO-SAHELIAN SAVANNAH AREA OF BORNO STATE NORTH EASTERN NIGERIA AND THE INSECT GROWTH REGULATOR PYRIPROXYFEN (S-31183)
Abstract
Malaria is a major problem in the Sudano-sahel Northeastern Nigeria with the highest prevalence of malaria in pregnancy of 64.5 percent. Little is known about the major malaria vector and its role in malaria transmission. Longitudinal entomological and parasitological surveys were conducted to better understand the relationship of the key components in malaria transmission dynamics .Anopheles mosquitoes were sampled using pyrethroid spray collection and identified morpholog...
View DetailsAN EVALUATION OF DRACUNCULIASIS AND THE INTERVENTION STRATEGIES ADOPTED FOR ITS ERADICATION IN BORNO STATE, NIGERIA
ABSTRACT
Interventions adopted for the eradication of dracunculiasis in Borno State were evaluated between July 2003 and June 2004 to assess the feasibility of the 2009 target date set for the eradication of guinea worm. Data on cases in Nigeria; North east zone, and Borno State from 1995 - 2007 were obtained from Nigeria Guinea Worm Eradication Programme. Primary data on the cases occurring during the 2003/2004 were obtained through active surveillance. The various intervention str...
View DetailsANTIPLASMODIAL ACTIVITY OF AQUEOUS AND ETHANOLIC EXTRACTS OF ANACARDIUM OCCIDENTALE AND CYMBOPOGON CITRATUS
ABSTRACT
The search for antimalarial compounds was necessitated by Plasmodium falciparum resistance to most antimalarial drugs. In endemic countries where malaria is prevalent, medicinal plants are often used to treat malaria. In this study, the in vitro antimalarial activities of crude aqueous and ethanolic extracts of Anacardium occidentale and Cymbopogon citratus, were evaluated against
P. falciparum. Fourteen fresh blood samples obtained from infected children and adul...
View DetailsANTI-PLASMODIAL EFFECTS OF POLYALTHIA LONGIFOLIA (VAR.) LEAF EXTRACTS AGAINST PLASMODIUM BERGHEI IN MICE
ABSTRACT
Malaria is one of the most debilitating tropical parasitic diseases and the greatest cause of hospitalization and death. Recurring problems of drug resistance are reinforcing the need for finding new antimalarial drugs. In this respect, natural plant products are the main sources of biologically active compounds and have potential for the development of novel antimalarial drugs. The present study was designed to elucidate bioactive metabolite and in vivo antimalaria efficac...
View DetailsCULTURE OF ZOOPLANKTON (BRACHIONUS CALYCIFLORUS, MOINA MICRURA AND DAPHNIA PULEX) AS LIVE FOOD FOR HETEROBRANCHUS BIDORSALIS HATCHLINGS.
ABSTRACT
Live food Zooplankton population density in different zones of Awuma River at Shabu were investigated and Brachionus calyciflorus, Moina micrura and Daphnia pulex screened from littoral zone of the River at Shabu before the onset of rainy season was isolated into mono specific culture in the laboratory. Cow dung, chicken droppings, groundnut cake, soyabean cake, rice bran and single super phosphate were combined in different proportions of three, four and five combinations...
View DetailsEARTHWORM ECOLOGY, HEAVY METALS AND TOTAL PETROLEUM HYDROCARBON ASSESSMENT OF AN OIL SPILL SITE IN AGAYE, LAGOS STATE, NIGERIA.
ABSTRACT
Agaye has experienced frequent spills of premium motor spirit due to pipeline vandalization. Over time,the spills have contaminated the water sources and farmlands, and with the attendant inferno, destroyed the soil biota. There is dearth of scientific information on effect of the spills in this area. This study investigated the abundance and heavy metals level of earthworm, and determined the physico-chemical parameters of the groundwater, surface-water and soil in Agaye....
View DetailsEFFECTS OF WATER-SOLUBLE FRACTIONS OF USED CRANKCASE OIL ON SOME PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS OF THE NILE TILAPIA (OREOCHROMIS NILOTICUS)
ABSTRACT
Used crankcase oil is disposed off indiscriminately and it eventually finds its way into the aquatic environment resulting in surface and ground water contamination by complex interacting chemicals and substances. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), heavy metals, additives, antioxidants and trace levels of chlorinated solvents have been detected in used engine oil and these pose a great risk to fish populations and the human consumer of fish. This study (i) investigate...

Abstract
Schistosomiasis is a helminthic disease that affect many people all over the world causing illnesses that prevent people from farming and performing other activities, and at times gives rise to malignancies which are fatal. Between 1999 and 2004, some aspects of the epidemiology of schistosomiasis, were studied among 3190 inhabitants of Dogon-Karfe (the boundary with Jos North Local Government Area), Gigiring, Anglo-Jos Bukuru, Vom, Zawan, Mararaba-Jama’a and Farin-La...

Abstract
This study is aimed at determining the status, prevalence and significance of female urogenital schistosomiasis (FUGS) in schistosomiasis endemic population at risk of HIV transmission in Jos, Plateau State. Epidemiological circumstances that predisposed individuals to urogenital schistosomiasis and HIV in Jos Plateau State, was investigated. FUGS was determined from parasitological and immunological techniques. Circulating cathodic (worm) antigen (CCA) was used as an addit...
