Sickle cell disease (SCD) is one of the most common inherited disorders of haemoglobin in Africa and it is expected that sickle cell trait varies in frequency in different areas in Sudan. An extensive literature search was carried out accessing the US National Library of Medicine, the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region resources, the Catalogue for Transmission Genetics in Arabs and papers and doc...

The self-assembly of uniform single-crystalline microrods of organic dye Sudan II (1-(2,4- dimethylphenyl-azo)-2-naphthol) in solution was achieved by reprecipitation with the assistance of amphiphilic block copolymer Pluronic F127. It was found that the formation of F127 micelles was favorable for the production of uniform Sudan II microrods whereas individual F127 molecules favored the format...

South Sudan faces a myriad of challenges ranging from a struggling economy, low levels of technology to weak health care systems. It is a new country born out of a Comprehensive Peace Agreement between Sudan and the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM). Its independence on July 9th, 2011, ended one of the longest protracted civil wars in Africa. The country has a population of about 12 mil...

Decolorization of water-insoluble Sudan dyes was studied with Shewanella oneidensis MR-1, which removed 66.8%, 43.4%, 56.0% and 33.7% Sudan I-IV in 104 h, respectively and reduced Sudan I to aniline and 1-amino-2-naphthol. Lactate was identified as the most efficient electron donor for Sudan I reduction. Improved reduction performance was obtained in the presence of higher lactate or biomass co...

Although various biological aspects of Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) have been examined, adult movement and dispersal of this insect pest is not well understood. Release-recapture techniques by using marked insects is a useful approach for dispersal studies; however, the marking technique should not significantly affect insect biology or behavior. Therefore, the ef...
