abstractalthough the biokinetics, metabolism, and chemical toxicity of uranium are well known, until recently little attention was paid to the potential toxic effects of uranium on reproduction and development in mammals. in recent years, it has been shown that uranium is a developmental toxicant when given orally or subcutaneously (sc) to mice. decreased fertility, embryo/fetal toxicity includ...

Abstract Autoethnography—a methodology that foregrounds personal experience both during research and in writing about it—is a useful keyword for scholars working Africa the diaspora. Mara Thompson argue by exploring new forms of engaging critical self-reflexivity regarding (shifting) positionalities, autoethnography—particularly collaborative approaches—is vital to ongoing efforts decolonize Af...

The present study was conducted to evaluate the economic losses and temporal distribution of the prevalence of liver condemnation due to bovine fasciolosis. The abattoir in Atílio Vivácqua, in the South of the State of Espírito Santo, which is under state inspection by the veterinary service of the Livestock and Forest Protection Institute of Espírito Santo, was used as the data source. The pre...

A retrospective study covering a period of 10 years (1990--1999) was conducted using post mortem meat inspection records of the Veterinary Department Information Management Unit at Harare to determine the prevalence and seasonal variation of bovine fasciolosis in Zimbabwe. Records of monthly and annual returns from five major abattoirs were examined in regard to total cattle slaughtered and the...

Two recombinant Fasciola hepatica antigens, saposin-like protein-2 (recSAP2) and cathepsin L-1 (recCL1), were assessed individually and in combination in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) for the specific serodiagnosis of human fasciolosis in areas of low endemicity as encountered in Central Europe. Antibody detection was conducted using ProteinA/ProteinG (PAG) conjugated to alkaline p...

Snails of the family Lymnaeidae act as intermediate hosts in the biological cycle of Fasciola hepatica, which is a biological agent of fasciolosis, a parasitic disease of medical importance for humans and animals. The present work aimed to update and map the spatial distribution of the intermediate host snails of F. hepatica in Brazil. Data on the distribution of lymnaeids species were compiled...

The study was conducted to determine the prevalence of bovine fasciolosis and to assess the effectiveness of commonly used anthelmenthics in Ginner district south-eastern, Ethiopia from September to December 2011. For the determination of the prevalence, 384 fecal samples were collected and examined by sedimentation technique. The result revealed that 121 (31.51%) animals were positive for Fasc...

Fasciolosis is a relevant zoonotic disease in the Peruvian Andes, it causes considerable economic losses by reducing cattle productivity and currently, resistance to anthelmintics reported, so necessary find new ways comprehensively control this parasitosis. In context, objective of study was demonstrate influence type irrigation on prevalence bovine (Bos taurus) fasciolosis dairy production un...
