Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) contamination (AC) increases as the severity of drought stress increases in peanuts. Identifying drought-tolerant (DT) genotypes with resistance to colonization and/or infection may aid in developing peanuts resistant to aflatoxin contamination in the semi-arid tropics. The goal of this study is to identify DT genotypes with seed coat biochemical resistance to infestation and aflatoxin contamination.

Article Synopsis
- Malnutrition significantly raises the risk of infant mortality and long-term health issues, primarily due to low household income in rural areas of Cameroon.
- A study involving 300 pupils found that around 66.33% came from impoverished families, with obesity rates higher among wealthier pupils (9.52%) compared to poorer ones (6.53%).
- The research highlights limitations in understanding malnutrition's epidemiology and suggests larger studies are needed for effective prevention and control strategies in rural communities.
Introduction of an obstetric health information system: results of a pilot study in North Cameroon.
Rev Epidemiol Sante Publique
December 2006
Background: International safe motherhood programs have placed increasing emphasis on assessing progress in reducing maternal mortality in developing countries. We assess the feasibility and relevance of an obstetric health information system introduced in Maroua urban district in North Cameroon.
Methods: During the study period, an obstetric observation register was introduced for obstetric data collection, complemented by anthropological case studies on maternal deaths.
