Estimation of the survival rates of field populations of malaria vectors in Kenya
(University of Nairobi,, 1985)
Results revealed that the average survival rates between the dry and the wet seasons mosquito populations of individual species was possible in An gambiae s. str. The survival for this species was higher during the dry ...

The spotted stalkborer Chilo partellus is one of the most notorious pests in Kenya of cereal crops especially maize and sorghum particularly in semi-arid areas. These studies showed that ovipositing maize stalkborers have ...
Evaluation of resistance to insecticides in the mosquito larvae of Anopheles gambae Giles and its control by microbial bacterial pathogens
(University of Nairobi,, 1989)
It was found that resistance factors of mosquito larvae were near unity for dieldrin, and 2 to 3 times for Malathion at both Ahero and Mwea, and 2 times for DDT at Ahero. These low resistance factors indicated little or ...
