Extraction and Characterization of Xylopic Acid from Xylopia aethiopica
… oils from different parts of <em>Xylopia aethiopica,</em> a plant of Africa, showed various degrees of anti bacterial activity. The activity has been attributed to the presence of Xylopic acid the major diterpene component of the fruit oil extract. This work examines the effects of …

Identification of Leishmania tropica and Leishmania aethiopica by DNA sequencing and the detection of Leishmania RNA Virus
… the classification of L. tropica and L. aethiopica as different species, and to check for the presence of LRV in their isolates. L. tropica and L. aethiopica are closely related species of Leishmania that infect humans; and there is some debate over whether they are indeed different …

Expression of green fluorescent protein (GFP) in Leishmania spp. to identify survival strategies the parasite imposes on the human host
… little is known on the modulative effect of L. aethiopica and L. mexicana during infection of host cells. It is key to have an altruistic approach to when studying the different Leishmania spp during host infection, as it is a key factor in the outcome of type of leishmaniasis. The study of …

Mechanisms underlying Leishmania parasites survival and dissemination at late stage of infection in human macrophages
… that 60-90% of cells were inoculated with L. aethiopica and L. mexicana within 72 and 96 hours infection. Although, the concentration of viable cells was greatly reduced as compared to non-induced samples, a heavily infected cell population was obtained with this approach. Hence, this …

Ecological aspects of the macroinvertebrates associated with two submersed macrophytes in Lake Kariba
… ilicifolius Obermeyer and Vallisneria aethiopica Fenzl are the most common and abundant submerged macrophytes in shallow inshore waters of Sanyati Basin, Lake Kariba. Lagarosiphon is structurally more complex than Vallisneria. This study considered the macroinvertebrate assemblages …

Interaction between Leishmania parasites and mammalian macrophages
… Old World species of Leishmania parasites: L. aethiopica, L. major and L. tropica, all responsible for the cutaneous form of the disease, were used. A model of infection was described using two cell lines well known for supporting infection: THP-1 and U937. Axenic amastogotes for L. aethiopica …

An investigation into the potential mutagenicity of South African traditional medicinal plants
… Rumex lanceolatus Thunb. and Zantedeschia aethiopica (L.) Sg, were investigated using two in vitro tests in both a bacterial and a mammalian cell system. The Salmonella reverse mutation assay and chromosomal aberration test, two frequently used and accepted pharmacological bioassays, were …

Cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 as a host determinant for susceptibility to cutaneous leishmaniasis in a mouse model
… including Leishmania tropica and Leishmania aethiopica,is the most common form of the disease. With no effective vaccine, drug treatment is fraught with complications hence leishmaniasis is a major global public health burden. Interestingly, not all infected people develop active disease …
