Molecular survey of Babesia parasites in Kenya: first detailed report on occurrence of Babesia bovis in cattle por Githaka, Naftaly W., Bishop, Richard P., Šlapeta, J., Emery, D., Nguu, E.K., Kanduma, E.G.

“…The Babesia multiplex real-time PCR assay used in this study is specific and can detect and differentiate the two Babesia species and should be used for routine B. bovis surveillance to monitor the spread and establishment of the pathogen in other African countries where B. bigemina is endemic. Moreover, these findings highlight the threat of fatal babesiosis caused by B. bovis, whose endemic status is yet to be established.…”

Research progress on greenhouse gas emissions from livestock in sub-Saharan Africa falls short of national inventory ambitions por Graham, Michael, Butterbach-Bahl, Klaus, Toit, C.J.L. du, Korir, Daniel, Leitner, Sonja, Merbold, Lutz, Mwape, A., Ndung'u, Phyllis W., Pelster, David E., Rufino, Mariana C., Weerden, Tony John van der, Wilkes, A., Arndt, Claudia

“…Livestock are an important source of livelihoods in agricultural systems in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), while also being the largest source of national greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in most African countries. As a consequence, there is a critical need for data on livestock GHG sources and sinks to develop national inventories, as well as conduct baseline measurements and intervention testing to mitigate GHG emissions and meet ambitious national climate goals. …”

Assessing genetic and agronomic gains in rice yield in sub-Saharan Africa: A meta-analysis por Ibrahim, A., Saito, Kazuki

“…Here we perform the first meta-analysis to quantify genetic gain - yield increase through use of new variety and calculated by yield difference between new variety and variety popularly grown in the target site, and agronomic gain - difference in yield between improved agronomic practices and the control in SSA using 208 paired observations from 40 studies across 12 countries. Among the studies, 41 %, 34 %, and 25 % were from irrigated lowland, rainfed lowland, and rainfed upland rice, respectively. …”
