Cassava ( Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a vital crop in Rwanda where it ranks as the third most consumed staple. However, cassava productivity remains below its yield potential due to several constraints, including important viral diseases, such brown streak disease (CBSD). Because various factors can be addressed mitigate impact of essential identify routes virus contamination agrosystems from seed system farmer's practices and knowledge. The present study aimed at (1) assessing current...
Abstract The African Queen butterfly ( Danaus chrysippus ) is noted for its colour pattern polymorphism despite aposematic and chemically defended lifestyle infection with a male‐killing endosymbiont Spiroplasma ). largely restricted to east central Africa where three different forms meet interbreed in large contact or hybrid zone. primary objective of this study present recent data on the polymorphism, sex ratio incidence male killing D. populations Rwanda. We also report previously...
Vegetatively propagated crops are particularly prone to disease dissemination through their seed systems. Strict phytosanitary measures important limit the impact of diseases as illustrated by potato system in Europe. Cassava brown streak (CBSD) is a devastating caused two viral species collectively named cassava viruses (CBSVs). CBSD can cause substantial root yield losses up 100% worst affected areas and easily transmitted stem cuttings. In Eastern Central Africa, epidemiology CBSVs local...
Cassava (<italic>Manihot esculenta</italic> Crantz), is an important staple crop for about 800 million people worldwide<italic>,</italic> and a key commodity the starch industry. However, potential cassava production limited by several biotic constraints amongst which brown streak disease (CBSD) most economically in Africa. To date, sustainable strategy to control CBSD use of resistant varieties supply disease-free planting materials farmers. breeding activities were initiated Tanzania...
Cassava Brown Streak Disease (CBSD), which is caused by cassava brown streak virus (CBSV) and Ugandan (UCBSV), represents one of the most devastating threats to production in Africa, including Rwanda where a dramatic epidemic 2014 dropped yield from 3.3 million 900,000 tonnes (1). Studying viral genetic diversity at genome level essential disease management, as it can provide valuable information on origin dynamics events. To fill current lack genome-based studies UCBSV, we performed...
Background: Persistent Hr-HPV infection is a prerequisite for cervical carcinogenesis. Knowledge of the persistence or clearance patterns specific genotypes can help clinicians to formulate interventions prevent development cancer. Objectives: To determine and infections in Zimbabwean women compare rates different genotypes.Design: Cross sectional descriptive study. Setting: Cimas Medical Laboratories KAVI molecular laboratory. Subjects: Women with NILM cytology results on baseline...
Background: The primary role of Liquid Based Cytology (LBC) is the detection atypical epithelial cells cervix; however, it can play a marginal in diagnosis infections vagina. A few studies have evaluated performance conventional Pap smear for Candidiasis. However, there no published data on (a superior sample preparation method) vaginal Candida. Objective: To determine sensitivity, specificity, NPV, PPV, and accuracy LBC Design: Cross sectional descriptive study. Setting: Cimas Medical...
Background: Women who test Hr-HPV+/NILM have a 3-7% risk harboring of undetected underlying precancerous cervical lesions. The biomarkers: p16 ink4a and Ki67 are surrogate markers cell-cycle dysregulation mediated by transforming HPV infections. Therefore, the /Ki67 dual immunostain can be used to identify women with infections; these higher Objectives: (1) To determine proportion prior screening results positive for ink4a/Ki67 immunostain. (2) compare Hr-HPV persistence rates between...
