A lot of research in ecotoxicology is currently focused on identifying and developing suitable biomarkers for use in assessing environmental pollution. Thus this study was aimed at assessing the potential of Cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP 1A1), Cytochrome P450 3A (CYP 3A) and Metallothionein1 (MT 1) as...

A cross sectional study was carried out with specific objectives of assessing the relative profitability of smallholder dairy farming and determining the socio-economic factors affecting it, in six of the then nine provinces of Zambia. Data used to achieve these objectives were obtained from 157...
