The present ethnobotanical survey was conducted to contribute to the knowledge of medicinal plants used for the treatment of typhoid fever in three sub divisions of Vina division, Adamawa Cameroon. After having explained the importance of this study to interviewees, 41 traditional healers have agreed and delivered information regarding the medicinal plants they use as well as the different preparation and administration through a well- structured questionnaire that was given to them on this matter. Among 41 traditional healers whose attended this study, 32 were men and 09 were women. The ethnobotanical survey allowed the identification of 70 plants belonging to 38 families. With a frequency of 11/70, the Fabaceae family was the most represented followed by that of Rubiaceae and Asteraceae (04/70 each). -

Box 454 Ngaoundere, Cameroon. *Corresponding author; E-mail: [email protected]; Tél: +237 699145141 ABSTRACT Ricinus communis L. (castor bean) is an oilseed plant with multiple socio-economic benefits. It grows wild in Cameroon. The study aimed at determining main uses, describing, evaluating the carbon stock as well as carbon credits and geolocalizing castor bean accessions from Adamawa Cameroon. The location of various sites for ethnobotanical survey was identified by random sampling techniques which consist in randomly selecting the various locations, overall sample consists of 1440 peoples; the respondents were questioned individually using a questionnaire form. Results showed that castor bean is used to treat several diseases; seeds oil is consumed and plants present margico-religious powers. Four local castor bean accessions (Vina, Martap, Nyambaka and Bélel) were identified. Overall, there was a significant difference (p < 0.05) between castor bean accessions identified with respect to the physical characteristics of vegetative organs and seeds. Plants of Bélel accession were tallest (302.96 ± 44.36 cm) while the smallest plants height (148.63 ± 19.05 cm) were from Vina accession. Vina accession was the most widespread while Nyambaka and Bélel accessions were the least widespread in the study areas. -
Indigenous Peoples and the Singular Socio-Political Trajectory of the Mbororo in Ngaoui Subdivision (Cameroon)1
Journal of Public Administration and Governance ISSN 2161-7104 2021, Vol. 11, No. 1 Indigenous Peoples and the Singular Socio-Political Trajectory of the Mbororo in Ngaoui Subdivision (Cameroon)1 ASSANA Senior Lecturer/Researcher in Political Science (Department of Political Science, Faculty of Law and Political Science/ University of Ngaoundere-Cameroon) E-mail: [email protected] Received: Dec. 1, 2020 Accepted: Dec. 31, 2020 Online published: Feb. 25, 2021 doi:10.5296/jpag.v11i1.18017 URL: https://doi.org/10.5296/jpag.v11i1.18017 Abstract This study concerns the Mbororo of Ngaoui Subdivision (Cameroon). And for some good reasons: unlike those of Chad, Central African Republic (CAR) or certain regions of Cameroon such as the West, the Far North, the North and the East, where they constitute a vulnerable, dominated and marginalized group, the Mbororo of Ngaoui have succeeded in establishing themselves as a dominant group. This is due to their sedentarization caused by the boom in the cattle market, and accelerated by cross-border crimes in the 1970s. This sedentarization takes place through the diversification of their economic activities, openness to Christianity and access to health and educational infrastructures on one hand, and the relative possession of traditional power and above all, their central position in local politics on the other hand. By relying on the theory of the coloniality of power and empirical data collected in the localities where the Mbororos are highly established and their herds which are Djohong and Ngaoui. This contribution aims at analysing the singular socio-political trajectory of this Fulani fraction which does not respond to the definitional and identifying criteria enshrined in the international and Cameroonian conceptions, which makes them, indigenous, marginal and vulnerable populations respectively. -

Box 65 Ngaoundere, Cameroon. 2Department of Biological Sciences, Faculty of Sciences & Technological Development, University of Ngaoundere, Cameroon. Accepted 19 August, 2015 Infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) which is caused by Herpesvirus-1 (BoHV-1) is poorly documented in Sub-saharan Africa. In Cameroon there are no previous estimates of IBR infections rates in cattle. A serosurveillance by an indirect ELISA test for detecting BoHV-1 antibodies using the Bio-X Diagnostics kit (Belgium), was undertaken with 252 randomly selected zebu cattle in small holder livestock farms from 7 subdivisions of the Vina Division. Herpesvirus -1 antibodies were present in the zebu Gudali cattle indicating past or present infection of the animals with Herpes virus-1(BoHV-1). The seropositivity rate varied from 11.11±1.1% in Ngaoundere to 22.22±2.2% in Ngangha sub-division, with the highest point prevalence of 38.89±3.9% and an overall relative prevalence rate of 16.7±1.7%. Older animals (>3-10years) had a significantly higher (p < 0.05) sero prevalence of Herpesvirus -1 antibodies than those in the 0-3 years age group. -
