A comprehensive review of the ethnomedicine, phytochemistry, pharmacological activities of the genus .

Context: (Asphodelaceae) is found mainly in South Africa and Tropical Africa. Malaria, hepatitis B, blood purifier, cancer, eczema, and female infertility have all been traditionally treated using this genus.

Objective: The current review provides a complete and up-to-date compilation of documented traditional medicinal uses, phytochemicals, and pharmacological activities of the genus.

Detection of complex DNA in CD34-positive peripheral blood mononuclear cells of asymptomatic tuberculosis contacts: an observational study.

Background: Haematopoietic stem cells expressing the CD34 surface marker have been posited as a niche for complex bacilli during latent tuberculosis infection. Our aim was to determine whether complex DNA is detectable in CD34-positive peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) isolated from asymptomatic adults living in a setting with a high tuberculosis burden.

Methods: We did a cross-sectional study in Ethiopia between Nov 22, 2017, and Jan 10, 2019.

Epidemiology of Bovine Tuberculosis and Its Zoonotic Implication in Addis Ababa Milkshed, Central Ethiopia.

Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) continues to be one of the most widely distributed chronic infectious diseases of zoonotic importance, which causes a significant economic loss in animal production. A cross-sectional study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of bTB and its associated risk factors and type the isolated in central Ethiopia. A total of 65 dairy farms and 654 cattle were tested for bTB using a single intradermal comparative cervical tuberculin (SICCT) test.
