This paper presents a comprehensive national atlas of tsetse flies and African animal trypanosomosis in Ghana, which harmonizes decades of scattered field data to map the distribution of three tsetse species and varying disease prevalence rates, thereby serving as a critical evidence-based tool for the country's control and elimination efforts.
This study demonstrates that while carboxylic acid intermediates like fumarate, acrylic, and crotonic acids can be converted into valuable volatile fatty acids in ruminal fermentation, their reduction relies primarily on intracellular electron donors rather than extracellular dihydrogen, indicating that thermodynamic potential alone cannot predict the ability of alternative electron acceptors to mitigate hydrogen accumulation caused by methane inhibition.
This study demonstrates that utilizing rice straw extract for pretreatment and corn seed extract as a nutrient supplement in solid-state co-fermentation of corn waste significantly enhances microbial cellulase production, offering a sustainable, low-cost solution for industrial enzyme generation and solid waste management.
This study characterizes finger millet landraces through morphological and molecular analyses, revealing significant genetic diversity, high heritability in key traits, and specific genotype clusters that offer valuable resources for breeding nutritionally rich and high-yielding varieties.
This study demonstrates that optimizing organic loading rates and maintaining a low food-to-inoculum ratio under alkaline conditions significantly enhances volatile fatty acid production from poultry manure by fostering specific hydrolytic microbial communities while suppressing syntrophic bacteria.
This study demonstrates that teak micro-cutting rooting success is strongly genotype-dependent and requires clone-specific optimization of hormone treatments, as evidenced by significant variations in rooting performance across ten clones and the effectiveness of Grey Relational Analysis for multi-trait evaluation.
This study identifies pinocembrin, a compound isolated from Romanian propolis, as an effective and sustainable antifungal agent capable of inhibiting the growth of diverse phytopathogenic fungi such as *F. oxysporum*, *B. cinerea*, and *Z. tritici*.
This study evaluates the transfer factors of radionuclides (Cs-137, Ra-226, and K-40) from soil to various parts of the fast-growing sunchoke plant (*Helianthus tuberosus* L.) in Vojvodina, revealing that while the plant accumulates these elements, it notably reconcentrates potassium-40 in all its parts, raising potential concerns for food safety and public exposure.
This study demonstrates that treating argan seeds with a 1 g/L microalgae extract significantly enhances germination performance and seedling vigor under salinity stress by inducing protective priming that optimizes osmotic adjustment and macromolecular protection while reducing oxidative distress.
This study maps the largely unregulated cross-border pig and pork supply chain between Zambia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, revealing significant gaps in veterinary oversight and health inspections that facilitate the transmission of *Taenia solium* to consumers in Haut-Katanga Province.
