ABSTRACT Malaria is a major global public health concern especially in countries where transmission occur regularly. A larger proportion of the malaria cases that resulted in mortality occurred among children less than five years old. This cross sectional study was aimed at determining the genetic diversity of Plasmodium falciparum and antibody responses to erythrocyte surface antigens among children in Minna, Nigeria. Blood samples were collected from children with no signs ...

ABSTRACT     Sunflower is an important oilseed crop due to its health related values. Induced mutations are often used to create new genetic variability where sufficient variation does not exist naturally as in the case of sunflower. This study was carried out at the laboratory and research farm of the Institute for Agricultural Research (IAR), Samaru, Zaria to assess the response of the sunflower seeds to different EMS doses ...
