A search for Glossina fuscipes fuscipes puparia near homesteads in the sleeping sickness focus of Busoga revealed puparia and puparial shells under Coffea canephora (coffee), Musa sp. (banana) and Lantana camara thickets as well as under house verandahs and, once, inside a hut. This is the first description of G.f. fuscipes breeding sites in a peridomestic habitat. The implications of these fin...

Examination of lectins of banana (Musa acuminata) and the closely related plantain (Musa spp.) by the techniques of quantitative precipitation, hapten inhibition of precipitation, and isothermal titration calorimetry showed that they are mannose/glucose binding proteins with a preference for the alpha-anomeric form of these sugars. Both generate precipitin curves with branched chain alpha-manna...

Background: This study focused on evaluating the diversity and richness of edaphic macrofauna in eight banana farms western zone Nicaragua. Methods: The sampling design was random descriptive, it divided into two phases, first collection sample, second classification, coding, storage extracted populations. Subsequently, indices spe...
