Ticks are ectoparasites that act as vectors for transmission of various pathogens to wild and domesticated animals and pose a serious threat to human health. Because of the hot and humid conditions in different agro-ecological zones of Pakistan, ticks are abundant and parasitize a variety of animals. The aim of this study was to identify different ...
The potential of Rhipicephalus microplus as a vector of Ehrlichia ruminantium in West Africa
Heartwater, or cowdriosis, is a virulent tick-borne rickettsial disease of ruminants caused by Ehrlichia ruminantium, biologically transmitted by Amblyomma species (A. variegatum in West Africa). In West Africa, this bacterium was recently reported to naturally infect the invasive cattle tick, Rhipicephalus microplus (Rm) through trans-ovarian tran...
Yeast derivatives as a source of bioactive components in animal nutrition: A brief review
Published in Frontiers in Veterinary Science
With a long history of inclusion within livestock feeding programs, yeast and their respective derivatives are well-understood from a nutritional perspective. Originally used as sources of highly digestible protein in young animal rations in order to offset the use of conventional protein sources such as soybean and fish meal, application strategie...

Do farmers’ socioeconomic status determine the adoption of conservation agriculture? An empirical evidence from Eastern ...
The African Union’s Agenda 2063 and the Malabo Declaration recognize agricultural development as one of the most effective means of combating extreme poverty. Conservation Agriculture Practices (CAP) have been asserted to have the potential to boost agricultural output, improve livelihood and contribute to the conservation of natural resources. Thi...
Development of multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) assays to identify Brucella abortus proteins in the serum of humans an...
...Published in Proteomics. Clinical applications
In the present study, a targeted multiple reaction monitoring-mass spectrometry (MRM-MS) approach was developed to screen and identify protein biomarkers for brucellosis in humans and livestock. The selection of proteotypic peptides was carried out by generating in silico tryptic peptides of the Brucella proteome. Using bioinformatics analysis, 30 ...
