    PREVALENCE OF BOVINE DERMATOPHILOSIS INFECTION AND THE ASSOCIATED RISK FACTORS IN THE COMMUNAL AREA OF MUREHWA; ZIMBABWE BY NYASHA MUNYANYI R146016C A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the requirements for the degree of BSc (Hons) Animal and Wildlife Sciences, Department of Livestock and Wildlife Management, Faculty of Natural Resource Management and Agriculture, Midlands State University May 2018 i Abstract A study to investigate the prevalence and associated risk factors was done in Murehwa district; Zimbabwe. The research was aimed at determining the prevalence of the disease and also determining the associated risk factors as determinants of the disease. The study was done by using questioners to randomly selected farmers who had reported the disease to the Veterinary Services. A total of 378 cattle were examined in the dry and the wet season. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 20 software and Epi-info version 3 software. The findings reviewed no significant association of age (p=0.42); sex (p=0.863); presence of Amblyomma hebraeum (p=0.275); presence of the Rhepicaphalus tick species (p=0.834); dipping frequency and tick load whereas Amblyomma variegatum and season were statistically significantly associated with dermatophilosis with p values of p=0.000(p<0.05) and p=0.01(p<0.05) respectively. These results add to a growing body of evidence that, suggest the Amblyomma variegatum and season are strongly associated in the pathogenesis of dermatophilosis as highlighted by higher prevalence of dermatophilosis in the wet season (65.44%)95% CI( 56.81-73.8) as compared to the dry season (34.56%)95%CI (26.60-43.19).

The resultant after-shocks invariably undermine income and employment prospects, exacerbating inequalities, in particular for vulnerable groups within societies. The COVID 19 pandemic, whose effects and devastation have been felt across all parts of the world, have magnified pre-existing differences in economic and social conditions of the vulnerable citizenry.

  • Marketing of Indigenous Fruits in Zimbabwe
    Marketing of Indigenous Fruits in Zimbabwe Vom Fachbereich Gartenbau der Universität Hannover zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Doktors der Gartenbauwissenshaften - Dr. rer. Hort.- genehmigte Dissertation von Tunu Ramadhani Geboren am 16.11.1960, in Kibaha, Tanzania 2002 Referent: Prof. Dr. Erich Schmidt Institute of Horticultural Economics University of Hannover Koreferent: Prof. Dr. Dr. W. Manig Institute of Rural Development University of Göttingen Date of promotion: June 17, 2002 Fachbereich Gartenbau Universität Hannover By Tunu Ramadhani Marketing of Indigenous Fruits in Zimbabwe ABSTRACT Poverty, food insecurity and unsustainable use of natural resources are being blamed for the setback of African development. Research on the domestication of indigenous fruits, conducted by the International Centre for Research in Agroforestry (ICRAF) is among the several attempts to improve the livelihood strategies of the poor communities to attain food security, improve nutrition, increase cash income while conserving the environment. However, the research initiative is being limited by lack of baseline information on the existing production-to-consumption system. This study aims at describing the market structure, conduct and performance of Uapaca kirkiana and Strychnos cocculoides indigenous fruits, including the institutions guiding the management of the trees and use of the fruits. Also, intents to evaluate the demand of the fruits by assessing consumer’s attitudes, preferences and willingness to pay, and finally suggest on improvements. The study was conducted in Murehwa and Gokwe production and marketing sites, Mbare central market, City Botanical gardens and Westgate shopping centre. Data was collected by a review and analysis of secondary information, Rapid Market Appraisal, formal surveys and conjoint experiment, and analysed using descriptive statistics and advanced multivariate methods.
