EFFECT OF FOOD CHAIN MEDIATED CHRONIC EXPOSURE TO ARSENIC AND CADMIUM ON REDUCED GLUTATHIONE (GSH) AND GLUTATHIONE S￾TRANSFERASE (GST) LEVELS IN THE BRAIN OF ALBINO RAT (WISTAR RAT)

ABSTRACT The study aims to evaluate the effect of food chain mediated chronic exposure to arsenic and  cadmium (singly and combined) on the level of reduced glutathione (GSH) and the activity of  glutathione S-transferase (GST) in brains of rats. Fortymale Wistaralbino rats were fed with a diet  containing fish fed with normal feed in water contaminated with 0.4 mg/100 ml cadmium (group B),  arsenic (group C) and cadmium + arsenic (group D) respectively for three months. The control rats�...

Application of Small Scale Wind Turbine for Distributed Electricity Supply and Irrigation Farming A Case Study of Opanda Farm Settlement in Enugu State, Nigeria

Mechanised agriculture has the potential to supply Nigeria with the export needs, it requires to diversify and close its GDP gap. This potential can be actualised if the rural agricultural farmers adopted the use of mechanised irrigation farming techniques. The wind is widespread in Nigeria and wind-powered irrigation system is a clean and decentralised alternative for providing rural communities with electricity for meeting domestic and irrigation farming power needs in a sustainable way. In...

Microsporidia MB in the primary malaria vector Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto is avirulent and undergoes maternal and horizontal transmission

Abstract: Background The demonstration that the recently discovered Anopheles symbiont Microsporidia MB blocks malaria transmission in Anopheles arabiensis and undergoes vertical and horizontal transmission suggests that it is a promising candidate for the development of a symbiont-based malaria transmission-blocking strategy. The infection prevalence and characteristics of Microsporidia MB in Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto (s.s.), another primary vector species of malaria in Kenya, were in...

Effect of supplemental feeding on habitat and crop selection by wild boar in Sweden

Abstract The wild boar population has increased rapidly during the last 2 decades in Southern and Central Sweden. This rise in population size has caused severe damages to agricultural fields through their foraging behavior. Given the hierarch ical nature of habitat and resource selection, wildlife management needs to under stand the selection on both levels to better understand the ecology of nuisance species and mitigate the damages they infer. Thus, there is an urgent need for more knowle...
