Genomic insights into the population structure and genetic diversity of Ugandan indigenous cattle

Animal Genetics, Volume 56, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract Domestic cattle in Africa can be categorized as either taurine (Bos taurus) or indicine (Bos indicus) based on their domestication histories from the extinct aurochs (Bos primigenius). Close to 150 breeds of indigenous cattle are estimated to exist in Africa and have a complex mixture of B. taurus and B. indicus ancestries.

Controlling Tsetse Flies and Ticks Using Insecticide Treatment of Cattle in Tororo District Uganda: Cost Benefit Analysis

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
Background: The endemic vector-borne diseases transmitted by tsetse and ticks impose heavy burdens on the livestock keepers in Africa. Applying deltamethrin to the belly, legs, and ears of cattle offers a possibility of mitigating these losses at a cost ...

Zebra stripes: the questions raised by the answers

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2660-2680, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Multiple hypotheses have been suggested to explain why the three zebra species (Equus quagga, E. grevyi and E. zebra) are striped. We review how well these theories explain the nature (rather than simply the existence) of the stripes. Specifically, we explore how well different theories explain (i) the form of zebra stripes (especially on ...

Neglected zoonotic diseases in Nigeria: role of the public health veterinarian

The Pan African Medical Journal, 2019
Zoonotic diseases accounts for about 75% of emerging infectious disease and can be devastating to both human and animal health globally. A subset of zoonotic diseases is referred to as "neglected zoonotic diseases - NZDs" as they mainly affect poor ...

Impact of C18 Epimerization of Indole‐ and Pyrazole‐Fused 18β‐Glycyrrhetinic Acid Derivatives on PTP1B and TCPTP Inhibitory Activity: Synthesis, In Vitro, and In Silico Studies

ChemMedChem, Volume 20, Issue 22, November 18, 2025.
The indole derivative (FC‐114) and the N‐phenylpyrazole (FC‐122) of glycyrrhetinic acid are both potent inhibitors of the Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase 1B, with IC50 values of 0.48 μM and 1.15 μM, respectively. However, their activity decreases by up to four times when the 18β‐H position is epimerized to 18α‐H or when the carbonyl group at the C11 ...

Evaluation of two candidate molecules—TCTP and cecropin—on the establishment of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense into the gut of Glossina palpalis gambiensis

Insect Science, Volume 32, Issue 5, Page 1747-1760, October 2025.
This study investigates the potential of enhancing the resistance of Glossina palpalis gambiensis to Trypanosoma brucei gambiense to mitigate the transmission of Human African Trypanosomiasis. We successfully cloned genes encoding proteins of interest in Sodalis strains, resulting in recombinant Sodalis (recSodalis) that were micro‐injected into the L3

Impact of nutrition on the pathophysiology of bovine trypanosomiasis

Parasitology, 2000
Trypanosomiasis is a major veterinary problem over much of sub-Saharan Africa and is frequently associated with undernutrition. There is growing evidence that nutrition can have a profound effect on the pathophysiological features of animal trypanosomiasis.
