A taxonomic overview of the genus Anticharis (Scrophulariaceae) especially in Namibia and Angola is presented. Three new species are described, viz. A. namibensis B. Nord., A. kaokoensis B. Nord. and A. angolensis B. Nord. A key to the Anticharis species of Namibia and Angola is presented. Some aspects of phytogeography, molecular phylogeny and photosynthetic pathways (C3-C4) are briefly discus...

Introduction: Angola has about 28 million inhabitants andapproximately 0.21 physicians/1,000 population. There is onlyone specialist in some medical fields in the whole country whilethere is not even one specialist in some other fields. The objectiveof this study is to investigate the significance of the CooperationProgram for Foreign Doctors (Brazil) and its impac...

INTRODUCTION Dengue in Africa is underreported. Simultaneous reports of travellers with dengue returning from Luanda, Angola, to six countries on four continents suggest that a major dengue outbreak is currently occurring in Angola, South West Africa. METHODS To identify the origin of the imported dengue virus, we sequenced the virus from Angola and investigated the interconnectivity via air ...

Phradonoma blabolili sp. n. from Angola is described and illustrated. Key to the Afrotropical "Phradonoma nobile species group" to which the newly described species belongs, as well as key to genera of dermestid beetles occurring in Angola is given. List of all species of Dermestidae known to occur in Angola hitherto is provided.

Simultaneous circulation of multiple arboviruses presents diagnostic challenges. In May 2016, chikungunya fever was diagnosed in a traveler from Angola to Japan. Travel history, incubation period, and phylogenetic analysis indicated probable infection acquisition in Angola, where a yellow fever outbreak is ongoing. Thus, local transmission of chikungunya virus probably also occurs in Angola.

BACKGROUND Marburg virus (MARV) and Ebola virus (EBOV) cause severe hemorrhagic fever in primates. Earlier studies demonstrated that antibodies to particular epitopes on the glycoprotein (GP) of EBOV enhanced virus infectivity in vitro. METHODS To investigate this antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) in MARV infection, we produced mouse antisera and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to the GPs of ...

ODP Site 1078 situated under the coast of Angola provides the first record of the vegetation history for Angola. The upper 11 m of the core covers the past 30 thousand years, which has been analysed palynologically in decadal to centennial resolution. Alkenone sea surface temperature estimates were analysed in centennial resolution. We studied sea surface temperatures and vegetation development...

A new species of Orthosiphon (Lamiaceae), Orthosiphoncinereus A.J.Paton, sp. nov. from Angola is described and the eight species of Orthosiphon in Angola listed with reference to previous accounts. Orthosiphonnewtonii Briq. is reduced to the synonymy of Endostemontubulascens (Briq.) M.Ashby.
