On the diversity of malaria parasites in African apes and the origin of Plasmodium falciparum from Bonobos. by Sabrina Krief, Ananias A Escalante, M Andreina Pacheco, Lawrence Mugisha, Claudine André, Michel Halbwax, Anne Fischer, Jean-Michel Krief, John M Kasenene, Mike Crandfield, Omar E Cornejo, Jean-Marc Chavatte, Clara Lin, Franck Letourneur, Anne Charlotte Grüner, Thomas F McCutchan, Laurent Rénia, Georges Snounou

“…The data suggested that P. falciparum did not originate from P. reichenowi of chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes), but rather evolved in bonobos (Pan paniscus), from which it subsequently colonized humans by a host-switch. Finally, our data and that of others indicated that chimpanzees and bonobos maintain malaria parasites, to which humans are susceptible, a factor of some relevance to the renewed efforts to eradicate malaria.…”

Polluting potential of post-Fenton products in landfill leachate treatment by M.R. Sabour, A. Amiri

“…For the mass removal efficiency response, it seemed that appropriate balance of the oxidation/coagulation had considerable role through Fe2+ dosage and [H2O2]/[Fe2+] ratio. Finally, by including further conventional parameters such as sludge quantity, the best operational conditions (X1 = 5.7, X2 = 16, X3 = 207 mM) were optimized by response surface methodology to 27.4% and 14.4% for sludge and effluent mass content ratio, respectively, and 58.1% for mass removal efficiency. …”
