Inequity in uptake of hospital-based childbirth care in rural Tanzania: analysis of the 2015-16 Tanzania Demographic and Health Survey Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde

Manuela Straneo, Lenka Benova, Claudia Hanson, Piera Fogliati, Andrea B Pembe, Tom Smekens, Thomas van den Akker

Proportions of facility births are increasing throughout sub-Saharan Africa, but obstetric services vary within the health system. In Tanzania, advanced management of childbirth complications (comprehensive emergency obstetric care) is offered in hospitals, while in frontline, primary health care (PHC) facilities (health centres and dispensaries) mostly only routine childbirth care is available. With over half (54%) of rural births in ...

Towards sustainable management of inland waters in Tanzania: Assessing the ecological integrity of river ecosystems in the Upper Pangani River Basin (Tanzania) KU Leuven

Grite Nelson Mwaijengo
River ecosystems encompass river channels and its floodplains and form a diverse mosaic of habitats upon which countless species of animals and plants depend for survival. They provide a plethora of services for humans including a source of clean water for domestic and industrial uses, a source of food, a means of waste disposal, transportation, power production, and sites for the pursuit of leisure activities. Yet, they belong to the most ...

Reflexive-reciprocal syncretism in eastern Bantu languages of Tanzania : distribution and origins Universiteit Gent

Aron Zahran, Sebastian Dom
This paper presents an overview of the distribution of reflexive-reciprocal syncretism in Eastern Bantu languages spoken in Tanzania. Most Bantu languages encode reflexive and reciprocal constructions by means of two distinct verbal affixes. However, the Tanzanian Eastern Bantu languages under study have developed reflexive-reciprocal syncretism, in which the originally reflexive prefix has developed into a polyfunctional morpheme coding both ...

Persistent domestic circulation of African swine fever virus in Tanzania, 2015–2017 Universiteit Gent

Clara M. Yona, Merijn Vanhee, Edgar Simulundu, Mariam Makange, Hans Nauwynck, Gerald Misinzo
Background African swine fever (ASF) is a highly fatal viral hemorrhagic disease of domestic pigs that threatens livelihoods and food security. In Africa, ASF virus (ASFV) circulates in sylvatic (transmission between warthogs and soft argasid ticks) and domestic (transmission between domestic pigs) cycles, with outbreaks resulting from ASFV spill-over from sylvatic cycle. A number of outbreaks were reported in different parts of Tanzania between ...

Status assessment and roadmap for improvement of food safety management systems in Africa : the case of Tanzania Universiteit Gent

Jamal Kussaga
Export oriented food companies in Tanzania are improving their FSMS, but still experience microbiological and chemical safety problems. At local level, food companies continue to experience an increase in the number of cases of foodborne disease outbreaks. Moreover, food safety awareness by the public and market (supermarkets) has increased the demand for quality and safe products accross Africa. Majority of food companies are micro- and ...

Large volcanic landslide and debris avalanche deposit at Meru, Tanzania Vrije Universiteit Brussel KU Leuven

Audray Delcamp, Matthieu Kervyn, Mhammed Benbakkar, Shimba Kwelwa, D. Peter

Meru volcano is located within the Northern Tanzanian Divergence Zone where the east branch of the East African Rift splits into several branches. The 4565-m-high Meru volcano is breached on the east flank by a horseshoe-shaped scar following a major collapse associated with the Momella debris avalanche approximately 9000 years ago. Remote sensing combined with detailed field mapping allowed the characterisation of the Momella debris ...

Plant-parasitic nematodes associated with sugarcane in Kilimanjaro, Tanzania Universiteit Gent

Phougeishangbam Rolish Singh, Beatrice E. Kashando, Marjolein Couvreur, Gerrit Karssen, Wim Bert
Morphological and molecular analyses of plant-parasitic nematodes (PPN) from 12 sugarcane plantation sites of Tanganyika Planting Company (TPC) Limited in Kilimanjaro region of Tanzania revealed the presence of six PPN genera, i.e. Helicotylenchus, Hemi-cycliophora, Pratylenchus, Rotylenchulus, Scutellonema, and Tylenchorhynchus. The genera with the highest densities and present in virtually all samples were Pratylenchus and Rotylenchulus, and ...

A new institutional economics approach to evaluate management options for wetlands: the case of Kilombero Valley wetlands in Tanzania Universiteit Gent

Felister Michael Mombo
Anthropogenic activities disrupt ecosystems balance that cause natural calamities if there are no proper rules to interact with nature. To maintain a balance between the use and ecosystems’ health, theorists in New Institutional Economics advocate the applications of interdisciplinary set of options when enacting development policies. Economic principles should change from market perspective to consider other transactions which cannot be framed ...

The new species Codium recurvatum from Tanzania Universiteit Gent

Heroen Verbruggen, Klaas Pauly, Olivier De Clerck
Codium recurvatum is described from material collected on a Tanzanian reef slope. The diminutive species is easily recognized by its unusual morphology, as its thallus consists of several dorsiventrally flattened lobes originating from a central holdfast and curving back towards the substratum. DNA barcodes (rbcL exon 1 and tufA) confirm the distinctness of the species and the phylogenetic placement of the new species is inferred from a ...
