The Only African Wild Tobacco, Nicotiana africana: Alkaloid Content and the Effect of Herbivory
Herbivory in some Nicotiana species is known to induce alkaloid production. This study examined herbivore-induced defenses in the nornicotine-rich African tobacco N. africana, the only Nicotiana species indigenous to Africa. We tested the predictions that: 1) N. africana will have high constitutive levels of leaf, flower and nectar alkaloids; 2) leaf herbivory by the African bollworm Helicoverp...
متن کاملField evaluation of a rapid immunochromatographic test for tuberculosis.
Rapid diagnostic tests for tuberculosis (TB) are needed to facilitate early treatment of TB and prevention of Mycobacterium tuberculosis transmission. The ICT Tuberculosis test is a rapid, card-based immunochromatographic test for detection of antibodies directed against M. tuberculosis antigens. The objective of the study was to evaluate the performance of the ICT Tuberculosis test for the dia...

alpha toxin derived from clostridium perfringens was used for diagnosis of streptococcus agalactiae (st.agalactiae) by rapid and spot camp tests. the selected cl.perfringens strain was cultured in optimized conditions; the supernatant of culture was concentrated by ultra filter and purified by deae cellulose chromatography. the efficacy of both purified and crude α-toxins were examined by rapid...
متن کاملTransgenic and Mutation-Based Suppression of a Berberine Bridge Enzyme-Like (BBL) Gene Family Reduces Alkaloid Content in Field-Grown Tobacco
Motivation exists to develop tobacco cultivars with reduced nicotine content for the purpose of facilitating compliance with expected tobacco product regulations that could mandate the lowering of nicotine levels per se, or the reduction of carcinogenic alkaloid-derived tobacco specific nitrosamines (TSNAs). A berberine bridge enzyme-like (BBL) gene family was recently characterized for N. taba...
متن کاملField evaluation of a malaria rapid diagnostic test (ICT Pf).
BACKGROUND Malaria rapid diagnostic tests (MRDTs) are quick and easy to perform and useful for diagnosing malaria in primary health care settings. In South Africa most malaria infections are due to Plasmodium falciparurrm, and HRPII-based MRDTs have been used since 2001. Previous studies in Africa showed variability in sensitivity and specificity of HRPII-based MRDTs; hence, we conducted a fiel...
