Abstract

Bovine trypanosomiasis, commonly referred to as nagana, poses a significant threat to cattle populations across various regions in Africa, particularly in Nigeria. This disease caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Trypanosoma and transmitted by infected tsetse flies, results in extensive economic losses due to decreased productivity, fertility issues, and increased mortality rates among livestock. This study focuses on the prevalence of bovine trypanosomiasis in Jalingo, Taraba State, Nigeria a critical hub for cattle trade amidst the challenges posed by varied ecological factors and management practices that influence disease dynamics. Our research assessed 113 cattle samples collected from different grazing hotspots using both microscopy and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques. The overall prevalence was found to be 17.7%, with notable concentrations of positive cases in specific locations. Factors such as age, breed, and the educational background of herders were significantly associated with infection rates. Notably, all positive cases were reported among herders lacking formal education, indicating a potential link between educational attainment and effective disease management. Furthermore, the White Fulani breed exhibited a higher susceptibility to the disease compared to other breeds evaluated. The results emphasize the necessity for targeted intervention strategies, including enhancing diagnostic capabilities, public awareness campaigns, and educational initiatives aimed at cattle herders. Strengthening healthcare infrastructure and ongoing research into disease transmission dynamics are essential for controlling bovine trypanosomiasis and mitigating its impact on the livestock industry in Nigeria.

Abstract

Agricultural, Domestic and Industrial activities are all human activities that led to squalid of environment, mostly water pollution. Water is needed for every daily activities and conventional methods of treating wastewater such as the use of chlorine and other is detrimental to human health. Hence, there is need for a greener sustainable alternative of wastewater treatment such as biological method. This study focused on developing an efficient and cost-effective procedure for using Moringa oleifera seeds to produce natural coagulant for use in drinking water treatment. The study investigates processing Moringa oleifera seeds to concentrate the bio-active constituents which have coagulation activity. It is generally accepted that Moringa works as a coagulant due to positively charged, water-soluble proteins, which bind with negatively charged particles (silt, clay, bacteria, toxins, etc) thereby allowing the resulting “flocs” to settle to the bottom and then be removed by filtration. The turbidity removal was about 83-100% using two processed Moringa oleifera seeds to treat an undrinkable well water having 6 Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU). The product satisfies WHO standards for portable water and minimizes the cost of water treatment and therefore it is recommended as an efficient and effective treatment for drinking water especially for the rural communities where there is poor access to potable water.
