Seroprevalence of Q fever ( in sheep in the Kwahu West municipality, Eastern Region, Ghana.

Query fever, also known as Q fever, is a zoonotic disease caused by . It is a cause of abortion in livestock and presents as a febrile illness in humans. A correlation between the incidence of the disease in humans and abortion in goats and sheep farms has been reported in countries such as the Netherlands and Australia.

Alkaloidal Extracts from P. Beauv. (Avicenniaceae) Leaf: An Antiplasmodial, Antioxidant, and Erythrocyte Viable.

Background: The emergence of drug-resistant parasites impedes disease management and eradication efforts. Hence, a reinvigorated attempt to search for potent lead compounds in the mangroves is imperative.

Aim: This study evaluates antiplasmodial activity, antioxidant properties, and cytotoxicity of leaf alkaloidal extracts.

root bark extract ameliorates paracetamol-induced liver toxicity in rats possibly via the attenuation of oxidative stress.

root bark is widely used in folk medicine to manage liver diseases, particularly, jaundice but its effect on paracetamol-induced liver toxicity (PILT) has not yet been validated. This study explored the ameliorative effect of ethanolic root bark extract of (ZAE) against PILT in rats. The flavonoid and phenolic content of ZAE was evaluated using Folin-Ciocalteau and aluminium trichloride colorimetric methods, respectively.

In Vitro and In Vivo Toxicological Evaluation of P: Beauv. (Avicenniaceae) Leaf Extract in a Rat Model.

is an important ethnomedicinal plant that has long been used to treat malaria and several other diseases. Despite the plant's antimalarial and other therapeutic properties, there is limited evidence-based data on its potential toxicity. Hence, the purpose of the current study was to assess the safety of leaf ethanolic extract (AAE).

and antimalarial activities of P. Beauv. (Avicenniaceae) ethanolic leaf extract.

Background: The emergence of widespread drug-resistant strains of the malaria parasites militates against strives for more potent antimalarial drugs.

Aim: The present study evaluated the antimalarial activity of ethanolic crude extract and against -infected mice in anticipation of acquiring scientific evidence for it used by mangrove dwellers to treat malaria in Ghana.

Methodology: The pulverized dried leaves were extracted with 70% ethanol (v/v) and screened for phytochemicals using standard protocols.

Antidepressant and Anxiolytic Effects and Subacute Toxicity of the Aerial Parts of J.B.Hall (Rubiaceae) in Murine Models.

Background: The present study aimed at validating the traditional use and toxicity profile of a methanolic extract of the aerial parts of in alleviating depression and anxiety disorders.

Method: The antidepressant effect of methanolic extract of (PAE 30, 100, and 300 mg/kg, .) was assessed in mice using the forced swim test (FST) and the tail suspension test (TST).
