Assessment of FEAST (Feed Assessment Tool): Analysis on how it affects user Knowledge, attitudes, practices and subsequent livestock feeding strategies por Kiruja, Grace

“…It is a tool that is more inclined towards pushing for participatory methods in agricultural research for development, while incorporating the increased use of technology in the developing world. With the increased introduction of technologies both in the form of interventions and technological tools that assist in the creation and implementation of interventions, it is important to carry out post-assessments to analyse the impact that these technologies have. …”

Development of a rapid, user-friendly, diagnostic test for Taenia solium cysticercosis por Doble, L.F., Fèvre, Eric M., Bronsvoort, B.M. de C., Harrison, L.J.S., Parkhouse, R.M.E., Toye, Philip G.

“…Neurocysticercosis, the development of the larval stage of this parasite within the central nervous system of man, is a leading cause of acquired epilepsy in the developing world. The parasite is sustained in a population by factors intrinsically linked with poverty: low-input free-range pig husbandry, poor latrine provision, lack of formal pig slaughter and meat inspection and low levels of education or awareness of hygienic meat preparation techniques. …”

Single strand conformation polymorphism based SNP and Indel markers for genetic mapping and synteny analysis of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) por Galeano Mendoza, CH, Fernández, A.C., Gómez, M., Blair, Matthew W.

“…Several gel based methods have been reported for the detection of sequence variants, however they have not been widely exploited in common bean, an important legume crop of the developing world. The objectives of this project were to develop and map EST based markers using analysis of single strand conformation polymorphisms (SSCPs), to create a transcript map for common bean and to compare synteny of the common bean map with sequenced chromosomes of other legumes.A set of 418 EST based amplicons were evaluated for parental polymorphisms using the SSCP technique and 26% of these presented a clear conformational or size polymorphism between Andean and Mesoamerican genotypes. …”
