A growing population signifies an increase in the demand placed on our food and limited natural resources. With the food demand expected to increase by 50% in the next 40 years, there is the urgency to make our food production systems more resilient and s

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L, Walp) is a vegetable grown and consumed in tropical Africa. Few studies have been done on cowpea in the Central African Republic (CAR). The best popularization of accessions in circulation requires a study of varietal selection. For this reason, four local accessions of cowpea (Kahkir, Gbarahn Aie-toung and Bambalassa) collected from different localities were evaluated

One of the challenges facing fish hatcheries is diseases killing fish hatchlings. Therefore, the disinfectant effects of formalin on experimental infection of Clarias gariepinus juvenile with Pseudomonas aeruginosa were investigated. The infection trial was carried out by immersion of fish in water containing isolates of P. aeruginosa at the rate of 5ml/L to achieve 4.5 x 108 CFU/L. Gills, liver,
Prevalence and Plasmid Profile of Fluoroquinolone-Resistant Escherichia coli isolates from Domestic Animals in Enugu State, Nigeria
Adonu, Cyril*, Onwusoba Restus, Esimone Charles
Plasmid analysis is an important technique for the determination and characterization of antibiotic resistance traits in procaryotes. This study is aimed at investigating the prevalence and plasmid profile of fluoroquinolone resistant E. coli isolated from domestic livestock in Enugu State, Nigeria. A total of 559 Escherichia coli were isolated from pig, cattle and chicken in Enugu State, Nigeria
