Identification and characterisation of novel pathogenic factors of Trypanosoma congolense.
(2010)
Trypanosoma congolense is a major causative agent of the bovine disease
trypanosomosis which has a considerable economic impact on sub-Saharan Africa.
Current control methods for trypanosomosis are unsatisfactory and ...
The biochemistry and medical aspects of naturally occurring toxins.
(1999)
The work presented here represents research done on mycotoxins and plant toxins by the author and his postgraduate students over a period from 1964 to date. The first phase, which ends at 1980, mainly addresses the ...
A study of the African horse sickness virus using High Resolution Melt, multivariate and phylogenetic analyses for a potential serotyping assay.
(2014)
African horse sickness (AHS) is a viral disease that afflicts all equine species and has a 90%
mortality rate in unvaccinated horses. The disease has a devastating effect on the national
herd of South Africa each year ...
Effect of nitrate upon the digestibility of kikuyu grass (Pennisetum clandestinum)
(1985)
The factors affecting the accumulation of nitrate in kikuyu
grass pastures and the effect of elevated nitrate levels upon
digestion in the ruminant were investigated. A high potassium
level in the soil seems to be the ...
Novel epidermal growth factor directed cationic lipoplexes promote in vitro hepatotropic gene targeting.
(2014)
The need for the improvement in protocols for cellular gene delivery has propelled cytofectin based liposomes as suitable non-viral gene carriers. The amenability of cationic liposomes to modification enables research based ...
Gene transfer by receptor-mediated endocytosis : stable expression of NEO following insulin-directed entry into HepG2 cells.
(1989)
Evidence is presented for DNA delivery to cultured HepG2 hepatoma cells via the endocytotic pathway, under the direction of insulin, in a soluble system of transfection leading to
stable gene expression. Serum albumin ...
Synthesis, characterization and evaluation of antibacterial, antidiabetic and toxicological profiles of newly-derived therapeutic agents.
(2016)

Investigation of anti-diabetic properties of Psidium guajava leaf in streptozocin induced diabetic rats.
(2015)
Diabetes mellitus results in chronic hyperglycaemia, leading to defects in carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism. Diabetes mellitus is also linked with elevated plasma cholesterol and triglyceride levels, which may ...
Expression of monocyte heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) during malaria fever in the presence of antimalarial, anti-inflammatory drugs and β-haematin.
(2017)

Synthesis and aggregation dynamics of amylin.
(2012)
Amylin is a 37 amino acid long peptide that aggregates into toxic oligomers and fibrils. Since amylin is secreted by and also acts on pancreatic beta cells, type II diabetes is classified as an amyloidogenic disease. This ...
