Excretion of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon metabolites (OH-PAHs) in cattle urine in Ghana
(Elsevier, 2016)Previous studies of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in particulate matter, soils and livers of wild rats indicated that the city centre of Kumasi, Ghana has been severely polluted with high cancer potency. Cattle ... -
Genetic characterization of tick-borne pathogens in ticks infesting cattle and sheep from three South African provinces
(Elsevier, 2019)Ticks are involved in the transmission of many public health and veterinary important pathogens. Although tick-borne pathogens are widely distributed in South Africa, information on tick-pathogen relationship needs to be ... -
Molecular detection and characterization of tick-borne haemoparasites among cattle on Zanzibar Island, Tanzania
(Elsevier, 2020)Tick-borne diseases (TBDs) are serious constraints to livestock production in Tanzania and other tropical and subtropical countries and impact the livelihoods of resource-poor farming communities in the region. In Tanzania, ... -
Molecular detection and characterization of tick-borne protozoan and rickettsial pathogens isolated from cattle on Pemba Island, Tanzania
(Elsevier, 2018)Tick-borne diseases cause significant losses to livestock production in tropical and subtropical regions. In Tanzania, detailed studies on tick-borne pathogens in cattle using sensitive molecular detection methods are ... -
Sex and site differences in urinary excretion of conjugated pyrene metabolites in the West African Shorthorn cattle
(Japanese Society of Veterinary Science, 2018)Industrialization, economic and population growth rates in Ghana have increased the release of contaminants including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) into the environment through which humans and animals are ...
