Contribution of school meals to the recommended nutrient and energy intake of children enrolled in the National Homegrown School Feeding Program in Zaria, Nigeria
CONCLUSION: The meals served through the NHSFP contributed at least 33% of the RNI for energy, protein, iron, calcium, sodium, vitamin A, and zinc. However, they could not meet the 33% of the RNI for carbohydrates, fiber, potassium, and vitamin C. Increasing the portion sizes and the diversity of the meals can address the suboptimal contribution of the meals to the RNI for carbohydrates, fiber, potassium, and vitamin C.PMID:37704525 | DOI:10.1016/j.arcped.2023.07.004

Antibiotic resistance genes, mobile elements, virulence genes, and phages in cultivated ESBL-producing Escherichia coli of poultry origin in Kwara State, North Central Nigeria
Int J Food Microbiol. 2023 Jan 21;389:110086. doi: 10.1016/j.ijfoodmicro.2023.110086. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe paucity of information on the genomic diversity of drug-resistant bacteria in most food-producing animals, including poultry in Nigeria, has led to poor hazard characterization and the lack of critical control points to safeguard public health. Hence, this study used whole genome sequencing (WGS) to assess the presence and the diversity of antibiotic resistance genes, mobile genetic elements, virulence genes, and phages in Extended Spectrum Beta Lactamase producing Escherichia coli (ESBL - E. coli) isolat...

Folic acid supplementation and malaria susceptibility and severity among people taking antifolate antimalarial drugs in endemic areas
Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2022 Feb 1;2(2022). doi: 10.1002/14651858.CD014217.ABSTRACTBACKGROUND: Description of the condition Malaria, an infectious disease transmitted by the bite of female mosquitoes from several Anopheles species, occurs in 87 countries with ongoing transmission (WHO 2020). The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that, in 2019, approximately 229 million cases of malaria occurred worldwide, with 94% occurring in the WHO's African region (WHO 2020). Of these malaria cases, an estimated 409,000 deaths occurred globally, with 67% occurring in children under five years of age (WHO 2020). Malaria also...

Varietal differences influence arsenic and lead contamination of rice grown in mining impacted agricultural fields of Zamfara State, Nigeria
Chemosphere. 2022 Jun 16:135339. doi: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.135339. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn Zamfara state, Nigeria, rice is cultivated in fields contaminated with Pb (lead) from artisanal and illicit mining activities. Rice grown in such contaminated agricultural areas risks not only Pb contamination but also contamination from other toxic elements, like arsenic (As); co-contamination of Pb and As in rice cultivated in mining impacted areas has been previously reported and rice is a hyperaccumulator of As. A field study was conducted with ten different commonly-cultivated Nigerian rice varieties in the mining...

Evaluating the potability and human health risk of sachet water in Wukari, Nigeria
This study assessed physiochemical and biological properties of sachet waters. In general, sachet waters were within standards for all parameters except lead in batch A & B, iron in batch E, and E. coli in all water brands. Human health risk showed the order of THI as NO3- > Pb > F- > Fe for batch A & B samples and NO3- > F- > Pb > Fe for batch C, D & E. This showed nitrate constituting over 50% of the THI while batch B water samples showed THI above the acceptable limit for all age groups. The THI for infants suggests moderate risk. This indicates infants are more likely to be impacted even t...
