Abstract: Sandfly-transmitted phleboviruses (family Phenuiviridae, order Bunyavirales) are associated with febrile illness and infections of the nervous system in humans. These viruses are almost exclusively found in tropical areas of the New World and restricted to semiarid and temperate zones in the Old World. Here, we discovered seven strains of four previously unknown phleboviruses, named Bogoria virus (BOGV), Embossos virus (EMRV), Kiborgoch virus (KBGV), and Perkerra virus (PERV), as w...
Gari is a creamy-white, granular flour with slightly fermented flavour and slightly sour taste made from fermented fresh mash cassava. Gari is widely known in Ghana, Nigeria and other West African countries. It is commonly consumed either by being soaked in cold water with sugar and milk, coconut, roasted groundnuts or preparing ‘ebar’ .
Biotechnology presents a promising potential for food biosecurity, healthcare, and bioremediation. Gari is a widely consumed staple diet in Nigeria and it is imperative to study how its quantity and nutritional value can be enhanced using biotechnologies. This paper provides a short but concise overview of the possible applications of biotechnological techniques to enhance the productivity of Nigerian most consumed staple diet- Gari for the sustenance of her economy.

ABSTRACT The critical role of agriculture to the Ghanaian economy cannot be over emphasized. It has thus been the objective of governments to improve and develop the productive capacity of agriculture. Agricultural extension has been responsible for supporting farmers to raise their production capacity. Over the last two decades the effectiveness of agricultural extension to achieve its goal has been called to question. The significance of local innovation potential for sustainable developme...
ABSTRACT This research was undertaken to investigate the impact of funding shortages on the operations using the case study of African Sun Ltd. The background to the study, research problems and objectives were identified which included the identification of possible sources of funding, determining the existence of a funding policy at African Sun Ltd and determining the best funding practices possible. Funding related literature was reviewed with major authors Dzirutwe (2015) asserting that t...
Abstract: Forests play vital role in combating climate change through carbon sequestration in the atmosphere and serving as a carbon sink in the form of carbon pool systems of forest ecosystems. This study was aimed to estimate carbon stock variation along the environmental gradients and its contribution to climate change mitigation in Gara-Muktar forest, Western Hararghe zone, Eastern Ethiopia. A systematic sampling method of thirty- six quadrant plots having a size of 20m x 20m each distri...
ABSTRACT Women in the pre-Islamic period had no defined status nor did they have rights to live or to possess or inherit property.

ABSTRACT Three experiments were undertaken to evaluate the nutritive value of urea ammoniated rice straw and urea-molasses block supplement for dry season feeding to sheep. Experiment One compared the feeding value of untreated straw (US), ammoniated straw (AS) and urea-molasses block supplemented straw (UMBS). Three fistulated and three "intact" sheep were assigned to a two 3 x 3 Latin Square designed. Parameters investigated include dry matter intake, lightweight changes and nutrient digest...
ABSTRACT Background: Globally, the leading cause of death are non-communicable diseases (NCDs) as against all other causes put together. One of the key NCDs killing a lot of people, especially in Ghana is diabetes. The evidence shows that diabetic self-management education and practices could bring about a reduction in Haemoglobin A1C (HbA1C). It is important to unravel the factors that could affect the successful implementation of diabetic self-management. Objective: This study examined fac...
