Background information: Currently the World is experiencing numerous calamities due to various causes such as pathogens in terms of epidemics and change of weather patterns. However the modalities of preparedness in the public health sector has slow growth. This study hypothesised that handling of epidemics in Tanzania lacks the trained staff and h...
Introduction: The study explored the effect of management system on the
haematological profiles of African giant pouched rats (Cricetomys ansorgei)
as compared to the natural Standard procedures were observed in
determination of blood cells and other blood ratios or units.
Method: The blood samples were collected from the rats both wild and
ca...

Wild-animals can act as reservoirs for resistant bacteria and transfer of resistance genes in the environment. These genes can spread to livestock and human either directly by transmission of shared resistant bacteria, or by horizontal gene-transfer to environmental bacteria. To ascertain at what extent wild-animals carry resistance genes, eight fa...
Hirudiniasis is a condition caused by infestation by leeches. Despite the annoyance, clinical signs, and associated lesions caused by leeches in both humans and animals, the extent of the problem in Tanzania is not well elucidated. Individual animals and people become infested when they drink, bath, or walk through contaminated water sources. Leech...
Aim:
The study aimed to isolate and characterise Enterococcus species from apparently healthy waste attendants, cattle and cattle waste in Tanzania. Emphasis was given to antimicrobial resistance and in particular occurrence of vancomycin-resistant enterococci.
Methods and results:
Faecal samples were collected from healthy cattle, cattle waste...
The study explored risk factors for acquiring enteric disease in animal waste handlers as occupational hazards. A qualitative survey of 124 of respondents from Morogoro peri-urban and urban areas was done. Eight four respondents had experienced enteric episodes as compared to forty who didn't mention, and among those who mentioned the episodes, 55....
While pathogenic types of Escherichia coli are well characterized, relatively little is known about the commensal E. coli flora. In the current study, antimicrobial resistance in commensal E. coli and distribution of ERIC-PCR genotypes among isolates of such bacteria from cattle and cattle attendants on cattle farms in Tanzania were investigated. S...
E. coli lineage specific genes in 17 commensal isolates of E. coli from cattle and cattle attendants in Tanzania.
The matrix shows the number of genes present in 90% of the isolates assigned to phylogenetic clusters indicated on the left column and absent in 90% of the isolates assigned to phylogenetetic clusters indicated on the upper row.
