A search for Glossina fuscipes fuscipes puparia near homesteads in the sleeping sickness focus of Busoga revealed puparia and puparial shells under Coffea canephora (coffee), Musa sp. (banana) and Lantana camara thickets as well as under house verandahs and, once, inside a hut. This is the first description of G.f. fuscipes breeding sites in a peridomestic habitat. The implications of these fin...

This paper exemplifies the application of artificial neural network (ANN) for prediction performances in adsorption phenylic acid from waste water by conventional and low cost Lantana camara activated carbon as adsorbent material. To estimate removal efficiencies acid, a three-layer feed-forward using back propagation algorithm was utilised MATLAB environment. The initial concentrations (mg/L) a...

ABSTRACT: This study describes an outbreak of acute necrotic hepatopathy associated with spontaneous poisoning by Lantana camara L. in dairy cattle. A herd 15 cows and heifers was introduced into a native pasture limited food supply, and, sixteen days later, eight animals had nasal hemorrhage, fever, lethargy, jaundice, dry, dark stools mucus blood. The clinical course varied from two to five d...

At necropsy, the animal was severely icteric, dehydrated and constipated, with hepatosis, distention of the gall-bladder and nephrosis, but no skin lesions. Histop...
