(Uniiversity of Nairobi., 1988-03)
Changes in the ovaries, pituitary, thyroid and adrenal glands in Small East African normally cycling female goats chronically infected with T. congolense are described. Marked fibrosis of the ovaries, a decrease in the ...
The effects of Trypanosoma congolense infection on the testis and epididymis of the goat
(Uniiversity of Nairobi., 1980-03)
Five male non-castrated goats were each injected with 2 ml of blood from an infected goat containing about 0.75 million T. congolense/ml. Two goats died 4 weeks after infection; the remainder and five controls were killed ...
Biocontrol potential of the entomogenous fungi Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae for tsetse flies (Glossina spp.) at developmental sites
(University of Nairobi., 1995-11)
Spores of two entomogenous fungi, Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae, were mixed with sterile sand at two different concentrations (1.0 and 0.5 g/liter) and larvae of tsetse flies Glossina morsitans morsitans ...
Prospects of using tick parasitoids (Insecta) for tick management in Africa
(University of Nairobi., 1997)
Since the first report of tick parasitoids by Howard (1907), sevens pecies belonging to the genus Ixodiphagus have been described. Apart from a few parasitoid releases in the USA and Europe in the first third of the century, ...

(Uniiversity of Nairobi., 1995)
A water soluble extract of M. discoidea, an African indigenous plant induced high mortalities in nymphs of both Rhipicephalus appendiculatus, and Amblyomma variegatum and in adult R. appendiculatus, but not in adult A. ...

Insect immunity: Induction of cecropin and attacin-like antibacterial factors in the haemolymph of Glossina morsitans morsitans
(University of Nairobi., 1987)
Injections of live Escherichia coli into adult tsetse flies, Glossina morsitans morsitans induced an antibacterial activity in the haemolymph after a lag period of 6–18 hr. Peak activity occurred after 24–72 hr with a dose ...
