Abstract Background The problem of drug resistance and toxicity in trypanosomiasis is ever-increasing, thereby creating a need to search for efficacious safer alternatives that are plant origin. We designed the present study assess oral acute toxicity, anti-trypanosomal activity Brillantaisia owariensis mice. Methods Fifty-eight BALB/c mice were used this study. For assessment, eighteen divided into two groups nine each, single administration aqueous methanol whole extracts B. was assessed...
The use of pesticide mixture to combat increased resistance by pest, single chemical insecticide has brought about an increase in the from different class, with its attendant toxicity. objective this study was evaluate maternal and foetal toxicity associated dimethoate cypermethrin, two insecticides that are normally mixed reduce pest resistance. 100 confirmed-mated (gravid) females were assigned at random among four groups (control – tap water only): group 1- very low...
The study evaluated ascorbic acid (AA) effects on diurnal fluctuations in cloacal temperature (CT) guinea-fowls. Twenty guinea-fowls were each assigned to two groups: Group I was administered with distilled water and II treated daily AA (50 mg/kg) orally. Measurements of dry-bulb (DBT) relative humidity (RH), obtain temperature-humidity index (THI), CT guinea-fowl taken concurrently the pen thrice a day for 3 days, 1 week apart, during rainy, cold-dry (harmattan) hot-dry seasons. Values THI...
