Diet composition of the African manatee: Spatial and temporal variation within the Sanaga River Watershed, Cameroon. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2021
Due to a large knowledge gap on diet and seasonal changes in forage availability, this study aims to investigate the diet of threatened African manatees to better inform conservation decisions within protected areas of Cameroon. We analyzed 113 manatee fecal samples and surveyed shoreline emergent and submerged vegetation within the Sanaga River ...

South West and North Central Nigeria: Assessment of cassava mosaic disease and field status of African cassava mosaic virus and East African cassava mosaic virus. [PDF]

Ann Appl Biol, 2021
Abstract Cassava mosaic disease (CMD), caused by cassava mosaic begomoviruses (CMBs), is a major threat to cassava production in Nigeria. The predominant CMBs in Nigeria are African cassava mosaic virus (ACMV), East African cassava mosaic virus (EACMV) and East African cassava mosaic Cameroon virus (EACMCV), which are transmitted through infected stem ...

Nutritive value of forages consumed by ruminants during the dry season in the Western Highlands of Cameroon

Grassland Research, Volume 2, Issue 2, Page 112-119, June 2023., 2023
The design of a database on available forage resources can be very useful to improve the zootechnical performance of ruminants. Abstract Background In the Western Highlands of Cameroon (WHC), information on the nutritional value of fodder species consumed by ruminants is very limited. Methods Through interviews with farmers and monitoring of animals on
