The current study compared the synthesis, characterization and properties of copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO) based on green traditional chemical methods. synthesized CuO were confirmed by spectroscopic morphological such as ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, fourier transform infrared (FTIR) zeta potential, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) energy dispersed X-ray (EDX). Electrochemical behavior modified electrodes was done using cyclic voltammetry (CV) in ferricyanide/ferrocyanide...
In many developing countries, community members depend on their local flora for treating diverse ailments including those affecting the respiratory system. This is often attributed to high cost and limited access health care facilities. present study focused documentation of plant species used against cough associated with diseases in Ede South Local Government Area Osun State. The survey was conducted using semi-structured interviews among 100 participants. Information obtained analyzed...
Salmonellosis is a major threat facing the poultry industry globally. This study was conducted to investigate level of Salmonella contaminations and determine resistance pattern isolates obtained from selected farms in Kwara State, transition state between southern northern regions Nigeria. A total 900 samples were collected January August 2017, environment, apparently including healthy dead birds. isolated identified using standard bacteriological methods. All presumptive serotyped tested...
During microbial assessment of cow milk cheese products in the city Ilorin, Nigeria, a Listeria-like isolate was detected that could not be assigned to any known species. Whole-genome sequence analyses against all currently 26 Listeria species confirmed this constitutes new taxon within genus Listeria, with highest similarity costaricensis (average nucleotide identity blast 82.66%, silico DNA-DNA hybridization 28.3%). Phenotypically, it differs from L. by inability ferment sucrose, l-fucose...
Globally, a substantial proportion of existing indigenous and naturalized foods are often neglected thereby narrowing the food-base available to humans. The current study explored use contribution plants households' food-pool among 12 communities in North West Province South Africa. An ethnobotanical survey was conducted 133 rural households across selected from four district municipalities Province, We analyzed utilization patterns for 31 (grains, fruits, vegetables) using two indices. In...
Globally, the potential of indigenous and neglected fruit species is continuously being recognized. In current study, we explored uses benefits locally available among Mapulana people in Bushbuckridge Local Municipality. An ethno-botanical survey was conducted using in-depth interviews to record names species, their uses, seasonal availability, occurrence three villages, namely, Mokhololine, Motlamogatsane, Rooiboklaagte B. Forty-one (41) participants aged 23 89 years old, identified by...
Health issues affecting males remain a public health challenge due to the limited treatments and male health-seeking behaviour. In South Africa, local communities have relied on plant-based therapies address including those males. This review explored ethnobotanical indigenous knowledge of plants used for managing urogenital sexual-reproductive conditions in establish existing status identify gaps further research. Following systematic search, 51 eligible studies were extracted from...
Farmers and herders often interface ethno-veterinary knowledge modern veterinary to treat their livestock. Viability of livestock production in local communities is continuously under the threat due different diseases including retained placenta. The current study documented medicinal plants used placenta associated Dinokana communities, North West Province, South Africa. Ethnobotanical data was collected using semi-structured interviews. presented as percentages frequencies, use-value,...
The persistent and highly transmissible Coxiella burnetii is a neglected infection that negatively affects reproductive parameters of livestock. It also zoonotic importance has been reported to cause devastating human infections globally. Domestic ruminants represent the most frequent source infection. Data from Nigeria are very few outdated. There significant gap in up-to-date information on exposure, spatial distribution risk factors this important disease. exposure C. was determined using...
Abstract When addressing global development, it is imperative to recognize the relationship between food security and child mortality. Despite targeted goals of SDGs 2 (zero hunger) 3 (good health well-being), Nigeria continues grapple with relatively high rates malnutrition, alongside persistent challenges in mortality insecurity that affect its population significantly. This study employed Living Standard Survey (NLSS) dataset 11,655 households estimate impact (in)security on using...

Though transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) the standard in most parts world evaluation benign (BPH), it rarely done some less developed countries because non availability appropriate probes and or specialists. Transabdominal (TAUS) remains mainstay these areas. Some controversies still exist literature about accuracy TAUS volume patients with BPH. This study aimed at comparing transition zone estimation...
