In Vitro Activity of Geldanamycin Derivatives against Schistosoma japonicum and Brugia malayi
Geldanamycin (GA) is a benzoquinone‐containing ansamycin that inhibits heat shock protein 90. GA derivatives are being evaluated as anti‐neoplastic agents, but their utility against parasites whose heat shock proteins (Hsps) have homology with human Hsp90 is unknown.

ABSTRACT The study assessed the influence of woody plant encroachment on the diversity of rodents in mesic savannas at the Roodeplaat and Goss Farms in South Africa. Some 142 animals from six species were recorded in 1748 trap nights. The non‐encroached habitat showed twice the species richness of encroached habitats, and three species were notably ...

Human Papillomaviruses and Non‐Melanoma Skin Cancer: Basic Virology and Clinical Manifestations
Human papillomaviruses (HPV) infect cutaneous and mucosal epithelia and induce benign and malignant lesions. Non‐melanoma skin cancer (NMSC), encompassing basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), is the most frequent cancer in the Caucasian population, and the incidence has increased dramatically worldwide.

SEX- AND SPECIES-SPECIFIC GROWTH PATTERNS IN CRYPTIC AFRICAN RODENTS, MASTOMYS NATALENSIS AND M. COUCHA [PDF]
The sibling multimammate mice, Mastomys natalensis and M. coucha, occur throughout southern Africa, exhibiting limited sympatry. We examine body mass and growth characteristics of both species, from birth to 26 weeks of age. Gompertz growth curves were fitted to data for body mass and lengths of head and body, tail, hind foot, and ear.

Infomap Bioregions: Interactive mapping of biogeographical regions from species distributions [PDF]
Biogeographical regions (bioregions) reveal how different sets of species are spatially grouped and therefore are important units for conservation, historical biogeography, ecology and evolution. Several methods have been developed to identify bioregions

Influence of Cyclophosphamide on the Haematological Profile of Laboratory Bred African Soft-furred Rats (Mastomys natalensis) [PDF]
The African soft-furred rat (Mastomys natalensis) has been shown to be a possible model for propagation of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense. This study aimed at determining the baseline biological reference values and reproductive data of a laboratory bred
