Lake Tanganyika has a very rich pelagic fishery, which consists mainly of endemic clupeid species (Stolothrissa tanganicae and Limnothrissa miodon) and their predators, endemic centropomids (Lates spp.). Stolothrissa tanganicae is the most important species in the fishery. Coenen (1995) estimated a total overall fish catch for Lake Tanganyika from 1992 to be 167,000 metric tones, of which 80,00...

New taxa of quill mites (Acari: Syringophilidae) are described from African barbets and woodpeckers in the Ethiopian region. A new monotypic genus Picineoaulonastus gen. nov. is established for a new species Picineoaulonastus pogoniulus sp. nov., parasitising 2 lybiid species, Pogoniulus bilineatus (Sundevall) (type host) in Kenya and Tanzania and P. pusillus (Dumont) (Piciformes: Lybiidae) in ...

We use household survey data to investigate the relationship between formal, private property rights agricultural land and investment, valuation access credit in Tanzania. Results show that landownership documents are associated with substantial increases market value of (more than 25%). One reason appears be well-documented facilitate as collateral for loans therefore ease credit. The findings...

This paper discusses some issues on how to evaluate the impact of HIPC debt relief in the cases of Tanzania and Zambia using two computable general equilibrium models. Within our relatively simple model framework, we found that the macroeconomic impact of debt relief is modest. One reason for this relatively modest impact is that the annual injection of additional resources relative to current ...

Afroeudesis Franz and Oreoeudesis Franz, Afrotropical subgenera of Pseudoeudesis Binaghi (Scydmaenini), are elevated to the genus rank and transferred to Cyrtoscydmini. The East Palaearctic genus Nanoscydmus Jałoszyński is reduced to a subgenus of Afroeudesis stat. n., resulting in Afroeudesis (Nanoscydmus) baoshanus (Jałoszyński), comb. n. and Afroeudesis (Nanoscydmus) nepalensis (Jałoszyński)...

Histoplasmosis may be common in East Africa but the diagnosis is rarely confirmed.

Median (range) age was 31 (6, 44) years, 6 (67%) were female, 6 (67%) HIV-infected; 7 (78%) were clinically diagnosed with tuberculosis or bacterial pneumonia. Histoplasmosis i...
