A comparative study of maize (Zea mays L.) weevil (Sitophilus zeamais Motsch.) resistance in selected landraces and improved genotypes maize, was conducted through a field experiment laboratory assays. The grain characteristics that confer to the weevil, Sitophilus Motschulsky, namely; hardness, weight protein content, were compared 50 developed by CIMMYT two (Cimambwe Pandawe). relative susceptibility all experimental material tothe also using Dobie’s indices, loss median development...
ABSTRACT A survey on customary land and an adjacent forest reserve was conducted in the Kopa area of northern Zambia November 2000. The objectives were to describe habitats edible caterpillars assess temporal spatial variations caterpillar abundance, impact tree cutting during harvesting potential as sources income for rural households. results showed that have potential, even years moderate generate incomes over US$60 per household are comparable to, or higher than, from sale agricultural...
Over a decade of vector control by indoor residual spraying (IRS) and long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) distribution on the mainland, only LLINs islands had minimal impact disease burden in Nchelenge district, northern Zambia. Anopheles funestus gambiae are vectors known from mainland. Understanding bionomics district is necessary for planning targeting effective control. This study aimed to provide information abundance, seasonality, Plasmodium falciparum sporozoite infectivity malaria...
The FAO defines non-wood forest products (NWFPs) as all biological materials other than wood that are extracted from forests for human use. Drawing on this, an NWFP has been defined the purposes of this book any raw or processed product, excluding wood, is produced indigenous or wild resource found within African dry and woodlands and harvested either domestic consumption or trade. In some instances, may be cultivated sourced modified nonnatural systems (as some edible leafy plants), but...
Background Nchelenge district is a holoendemic malaria transmission zone in northern Zambia. The occurs region characterised by mix of water, marshes, islands and lagoons presenting uniquely suitable ecology for mosquitoes. Annual indoor residual spraying (IRS) campaigns are carried out between September December synchronised with other regions the country different environmental conditions. Targeted vector control interventions have been applied since 2008 without appreciable impact on...

Abstract Background Over a decade of vector control by indoor residual spraying (IRS) and long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) distribution on mainland only LLINs islands, has had minimal impact disease burden in Nchelenge district, northern Zambia. Anopheles funestus An. gambiae are vectors known from the mainland. Understanding bionomics district is necessary for planning targeting effective control. This study aimed to provide information malaria vectors’ abundance, seasonality...
An annotated checklist of moths was compiled for Zambia based on intensive and extensive reviews the literature insects country field surveys undertaken by study a period five years from March 2013 to October 2017 confirm some review records documented. The contains 1,816 species moths, arranged into 907 genera 35 subspecies. One hundred fifty these moth are endemic in Zambia. During our biodiversity surveys, we verified existence 3.07% taxa reported literature. Some recorded occur...
Prothoracic tracheal apparatuses of Acanthoplus speiseri Brancsik and Enyaliopsis cf. matebelensis Per., are described. The vesicula femoralis for the apparatus each species differs from condition considered by Zeuner (1936a) to be typical subfamily Hetrodinae which two belong. possesses a horn-shaped apparatus, while E. bears trumpet-shaped structure. prothoracic was previously reported specialized structure in ‘Bradyporoid group’ (1936a). is first time subfamily. problems using as...
