Window screening, ceilings and closed eaves as sustainable ways to control malaria in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
(2009-09-29)
Malaria transmission in Africa occurs predominantly inside houses where the primary vectors prefer to feed. Human preference and investment in blocking of specific entry points for mosquitoes into houses was evaluated and ...
Half-precessional dynamics of monsoon rainfall near the East African Equator.
(University of Nairobi,, 2009-12)
External climate forcings-such as long-term changes in solar insolation-generate different climate responses in tropical and high latitude regions. Documenting the spatial and temporal variability of past climates is ...
Screening mosquito house entry points as a potential method for integrated control of endophagic filariasis, arbovirus and malaria vectors
(2010)
BACKGROUND:
Partial mosquito-proofing of houses with screens and ceilings has the potential to reduce indoor densities of malaria mosquitoes. We wish to measure whether it will also reduce indoor densities of vectors ...
Anthraquinones of the roots of Pentas micrantha
(University of Nairobi, 2012-12)
Pentas micrantha is used in the East African indigenous medicine to treat malaria. In the first investigation of this plant, the crude methanol root extract showed moderate antiplasmodial activity against the W2- (3.37 ...
Comparison of two microdiffusion methods used to measure ionizable fluoride in cow's milk
(2011)
Two microdiffusion methods for measuring ionizable fluoride in cows' milk have been compared. The comparison includes diffusion time, amount of fluoride in spiked and unspiked milk samples and the effect of aluminium as ...
