Malaria: Epidemilogy and herbal treatment options in some selected areas of Central region of Ghana

Ampomah, Paulina (University of Cape Coast, 2008-01)

Incidence of malaria in the Central Region of Ghana was investigated to determine age group and sex vulnerability as well as the parasite species distribution, haemoglobin status of patients and herbs used in treating the ...
Microbiological Quality of Fast Foods in the Cape Coast Municipality in the Central Region of Ghana

Agyirifo, Daniel Sakyi (University of Cape Coast, 2008-03)

The microbiological quality of fast foods, some vegetables, water and vegetable milling machines in Cape Coast Municipality of the Central Region of Ghana was studied between July 2005 and April 2006 using survey and ...
Fingerprinting of black pod disease-resistant theobroma cacao L. accessions using microsatellite molecular markers

Abban, Edward Kofi (University of Cape Coast, 2009-05)

Black pod is a disease of Theobroma cacao L. and can cause up to 100% losses in crop yield. Breeding for resistance can reduce or prevent the incidence of the disease. This study was therefore designed to assess black pod ...
Morphological and genetic diversity of persea americana mill. (avocado) using microsatellites in the Ashanti and Central regions of Ghana

Oduro, Janice Dwomoh (University of Cape Coast, 2009-06)

Avocado (Persia americana Mill) is a nutritious economic tree crop with cultivations scattered all over the country. A study was conducted to assess its distribution, uses and the morphological and genetic diversity of the ...
The effect of composting substrates on the growth, yield and nutrient content of the oyster mushroom, pleurotus ostreatus (Jacq. ex Fr.) kummer

Ahuma, Dzigbodi (University of Cape Coast, 2010-01)

The effect of composting substrates prepared from four agricultural wastes: corn cob, oil palm fruit fibre, rice husk and sawdust on growth, yield and nutrient content of oyster mushroom, Pleurotus ostreatus, (Jacq. ex ...
Aspects of the biology of the Nile tilapia (oreochromis niloticus L.) in the Weija reservoir (Ghana)

Kpelly, Ebenezer Delali (University of Cape Coast, 2010-02)

Studies on aspects of the biology of the Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.) were undertaken in a man-made lake, the Weija reservoir in Ghana from September 2007 to August 2008. A total of 657 specimens of O. niloticus ...
Development of oil palm (elaesis guineensis JACQ) tissue culture protocol

Mensah, Solomon Kuuku (University of Cape Coast, 2010-09)

This research was carried out to find the most appropriate conditions and requirements needed to propagate Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) through tissue culture. The explants used were young non-chlorophyllous leaves or ...
Genetic markers associated with Striga Gesnerioides resistance and seed sizes in cowpea [Vigna Unguiculata (L.) Walp.] Inbred lines

Essem, Frank (University of Cape Coast, 2017-11)

Production of cowpea is severely hampered by different races of the parasitic weed, Striga gesnerioides. Cultivation of Striga-resistant cowpea is the most reliable protocol to effectively combat the parasite. The ...
Identification of Plasmodium Falciparum Histidine-Rich Protein Ii and Iii (PFHRP2/3) gene deletions in two communities in southern Ghana: Implications on rapid diagnostic tests

Nyarko, Samuel Badu (UCC, 2018-06)

Malaria Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDT’s) have improved malaria diagnosis in highly endemic rural settings. However, the increasingly high false negative rates of Plasmodiumfalciparum histidine-rich protein II (PfHRP2) based ...
Occurrence of nontuberculous mycobacteria in some selected water sources in the central region of Ghana

Quist, Yvonne Edem (University of Cape Coast, 2020-03)

Nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are common saprophytes found in the environment, specifically in soil and water. These mycobacteria have recently been reported to be implicated in opportunistic infections with ...
Characterization of sweet potato (ipomoea batatas lam) accessions and their resistance to viral diseases

Yankson, Lovinna (University of Cape Coast, 2020-08)

Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) production contributes significantly to food security worldwide especially in Africa; however, production is constrained by sweet potato viral diseases (SPVD). The use of resistant varieties ...
Phenotypic and molecular characterization of Striga Gesnerioides resistance among cowpea (Vigna unguiculata l. Walp.) breeding lines

Asiamah, Joshua Yeboah (University of Cape Coast, 2020-09)

In Ghana, cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) production is constrained by Striga gesnerioides infestation. Though some Striga-resistant cowpea varieties exist, they are predominantly small to medium seed sizes, but consumer ...
Spoligotype Diversity and Drug Resistance of Archived Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Complex Isolated from Patients Presenting at the Greater Accra Regional Hospital

Bedzra, Kofi Dzorgbenyuie (University of Cape Coast, 2020-09)

Tuberculosis remains an important cause of infection in Ghana and Africa despite efforts put in place to eradicate it. Investigations to understand the population dynamics and circulating strains of the Mycobacterium ...
Isolation and characterization of antibiotic resistant bacteria from selected fish farms in the Central and Western Regions of Ghana

Agbeko, Rosemary (University of Cape Coast, 2020-09)

The study sought to investigate antibiotic resistant bacteria from fish farms in the Central and Western regions of Ghana. Management practices and antibiotic use at the fish farms were obtained through questionnaire. ...
