Phenotypic characterization of Gesha horses in southwestern Ethiopia

چکیده
Fifteen qualitative and 21 morphometric variables on a total of 394 adult horses (282 stallions 112 mares) from three selected districts were recorded to characterize the horse populations in southwestern Ethiopia. General linear model, frequency, multivariate analysis procedures Statistical Analysis Software (SAS 9.0) used analyze data. Sex location significantly affected studied traits. Stallions larger than mares, Gesha population was tallest, longest, largest among populations. The majority possess plain body colour patterns with red-coloured medium hair size. A higher frequency white-coloured observed increasing age. Stepwise discriminant function revealed that pelvic width, cannon bone length, height at croup top discriminate while head neck circumference, chest length had lowest discriminatory power. results showed advanced classification (76.7%) into their respective populations/locations. Finally, canonical categorized distinct categories. different Masha Telo having relatively relationship population. However, distances calculated this study show only relative size differences between each Such might not necessarily be due breed (genetic) differences. Therefore, diversity studies through further genetic characterization are recommended design conservation breeding programmes.

Entomologic Inoculation Rates of Anopheles arabiensis in Southwestern Ethiopia
We collected anophelines every second week for one year from randomly selected houses in southwestern Ethiopia by using Centers for Disease Control (CDC) light traps, pyrethrum spray catches, and artificial pit shelter constructions to detect circumsporozoite proteins and estimate entomologic inoculation rates (EIRs). Of 3,678 Anopheles arabiensis tested for circumsporozoite proteins, 11 were p...

The present study was designed to characterize phenotypically and genotypically seven Arcanobacterium haemolyticum strains obtained from infections of six horses. All seven strains showed the cultural and biochemical properties typical of A. haemolyticum and were susceptible to most of the antibiotics tested. The species identification could be confirmed by amplification and sequencing of the 1...

Abstract The Urmia Lake National Park (NW Iran) represents a unique ecosystem owing to special ecological conditions prevailing the region. The Urmia Lake National Park comprises a range of normal to extreme environments, with variable range of salinity between 120-300 g/L. The present study was aimed to characterize ascomycetous yeast mycobiota inhabiting hypersaline soils in this region. Soi...

The extent of morphological variability of endod (Phytolacca dodecandra) sampled from 17 localities in Ethiopia that varied from 1600 to 3000 meters above sea level (m.a.s.l) was investigated using 16 characters. Statistical analyses were performed using leaf hairiness and altitude as categorical variables. Cluster analysis performed using average taxonomic distance matrix revealed the separati...

In addition to the new fragments of the Omo I skeleton, renewed fieldwork in the Kibish Formation along the lower reaches of the Omo River in southwestern Ethiopia has yielded new hominin finds from the Kibish Formation. The new finds include four heavily mineralized specimens: a partial left tibia and a fragment of a distal fibular diaphysis from Awoke's Hominid Site (AHS), a parietal fragment...
