Identification of smallholder farmers and pastoralists' preferences for sheep breeding traits: choice model approach.
(University of Nairobi.Department of Animal Production, 2011-12)Identification of breeding objective traits pertinent to specific production environments with the involvement of target beneficiaries is crucial to the success of a breed improvement program. A choice experiment was ... -
Identification of specific markers linked to regional differentiation of Warburgia ugandensis
(University of Nairobi, 2013)Warburgia ugandensis is an important African medicinal tree. The species population has shown a high genetic differentiation in the Kenya’s Rift Valley. Nine populations were analysed by Bulk Segregant Analysis employing ... -
Identification of spiroplasmainsolitum symbionts in anopheles gambiae.
(University of Nairobi, 2017)Background: Insect symbionts have the potential to block the transmission of vector-borne diseases by their hosts. The advancement of a symbiont-based transmission blocking strategy for malaria requires the identification ... -
Identification of suitable parents and temperatures for breeding Potato virus Y (PVY) and Potato virus X (PVX) resistant potatoes
(Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI), National Potato Research Centre (NPRC), TigoniUniversity of Nairobi, Department of Plant Science and Crop Protection, 2011)Mixed infection of Potato virus Y (PVY) and Potato virus X (PVX) together with other potato viruses have the potential of causing yield losses of up to 80 % in the major varieties grown in Kenya. In search for suitable ... -
Identification of the species of origin of fresh, cooked and canned meat and meat products using antisera to thermostable muscle antigens by ouchterlony's double diffusion test.
(Department of Public Health, pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Nairobi, 1986)Antisera to thermostable muscle antigens (TMA) from 14 species of bovidae were raised in goats and/or sheep. To achieve species specificity the antisera were absorbed with serum from the other species. While the absorbed ... -
Identification of the species origin of fresh meat using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay procedure
(University of NairobiDepartment of Public Health, Pharmacology and Toxicology,, 1982)A modification of indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been successfully applied to the detection of horse meat and beef. This technically simple assay requiring species specific antibody, conjugated ... -
