Abstract

The study of the flora of Bori Reserve Forests, Hoshangabad District, Madhya Pradah has been undertaken during the years 1960 and 1961. The area stretches between 77°45' to 78°30' E. long. and 22°15' to 22°30' N. lat. on the southern slopes ef Satpura range. As a result of three seasonal visits 432 taxa belonging to 317 genera of 92 families could be collected and studied. The flora presents a typical dry deciduous type of vegetation without any change in the main components throughout. Some of the common species of plants in this forest are Anogeissus latifolia, Adina cordifolia, Aegle marmelos, Diospyros melanoxylon, Grewia tiliaefolia, Buchanania lanzan, Helicteres isora, Celastrus paniculata, Baliospermum montanum and Emblica officinalis. The area under study lacks in hydrophytic vegetation as there is hardly any perennial natural water source. Similarly orchids and ferns are also rare.

Abstract

A botanical tour in the southern parts of Tirap Frontier Division lying to the south-east of the Margherita-Nampong-Pangsupass line and bordering upon Burma and Manipur, undertaken over a period of 20 days during August-September, 1958, pelded 518 species of angiosperms and 120 species of pteridophytes amongst others. This paper presents the geology, topography, soil and vegetation together with a comprehensive analysis of the floristic composition of the vegetational types and is followed by enumeration of the species of angiosperms in the Appendix.

Analysis of the species collected and belonging to angiosperms established the following ten families as the richest ones on the basis of the number of species. Orchidaceae (50), Rubiaceae (29), Gramineae (28), Urticaceae (27), Leguminosae (21), Compositae (19), Cyperaceae (19) and Gesneraceae (17), Verbenaceae (12), Labiatae (12). These together represent about 45% of the species collected. About 68 species not recorded by Kanjilal et al(1934-1940) have been reported as additions to the dicotyledonous flora of Assam and NEFA. Several are reported here as new records of species for India.

Abstract

This study investigated the effects of abiotic factors on malaria parasite prevalence, morbidity in Taraba state, Nigeria. Using a retrospective study design, the study relied on secondary data obtained from Meteorological Station Taraba State and Health facilities from 2005-2014. The research findings showed that temperature greatly influence malaria transmission. The effect of temperature on the duration of the sporogonic cycle of the malaria parasite and vector survival is particularly important. From 2005-2014 were 1885.80mm, per 1000 mean malaria morbidity was 228.90. Years with peak malaria morbidities (years 2006, 2011 and 2014) had least annual rainfalls (1488.20-1677.00mm). Monthly malaria morbidity had a significantly negative linear relationship with rainfall (r=-0.827, p=0.001). Malaria morbidity for the decade increased at rates 0.298 per cent. This study provide information on the malaria situation in Taraba State which will be useful to the National Malaria Control Programmes and public health service providers in formulating policies that may promote the mitigation of malaria in Taraba State, Nigeria.

Abstract

The prevalence of Emeria species of coccidian among domesticated pigeons (Columba livia domestica) was conducted for a period of one year from July 2016 to August 2017 in Maiduguri Metropolis to determine the prevalence of coccidian. Floatation method was used to concentrate the coccidian oocysts using saturated sucrose solution as per standard procedure (Soulsby, 1982) and Sporulation technique was used to determine the size and morphological characteristics of the oocysts. A total of 101 faecal sample were investigated with floatation method and prevalence rate was found to be (56.2%) has the highest prevalence, positive samples sporulated by 2.5 per cent potassium dichromate solution. Four coccidian under genus Eimeria were positively isolated viz., E. columbae (30.56) E. tropicalis (26.63) E. columbarum (22.00) and E. labeana (16.50) all found among the age and sex. The highest oocyst mean bodern is 30.56 that of Eimeria columbea and the least is 1.00 in E. tropicalis. Among the pigeon study the young pigeons were significantly more infected with p. value (<0.05) (56.2%) as compared to the adults with (4 4.70%) (p<0.05) E. tropicalis presented the largest oocyst size of 21.5*20.5 μm while E. columbarum 14.5*12.5 which is the least size. E. columbae posses the longest sporulation time of 96 hours while E. columbarum has the shortest sporulation time of 25 hours. This study provides information on the prevalence and veterinary significance of Eimeria oocysts of pigeons in Maiduguri Metropolis.
