Studies on occurrence, transmission and potential mechanical vectors of camel trypanosomiasis in northern Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 1989)
Trypanosoma evansi ,Steele 1885 infection in northern Kenya
camels was diagnosed by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay
(ELISA), mouse inoculations. and blood smears. The ELISA results

Scanning and transmission electron microscopic study of the tracheal air sac system in a grasshopper Chrotogonus senegalensis (Kraus)--Orthoptera: Acrididae: Pyrgomorphinae
(University of Nairobi,, 1989)
The morphology of the trachea-air sac system in a species of grasshopper Chrotogonus senegalensis has been studied by using scanning and transmission electron microscopes. Capacious air sacs were formed as dilatations along ...
Pathology and pathogenesis of Trypanosoma Vivax infection in cattle
(1989)
A study on the pathogenesis of haemorrhages, tissue damage, disseminated intravascular coagulation and thrombocytopenia in Trypanosoma vivax infected cattle was carried out in order to determine the clinico-pathological ...
The association between biological characteristics and thiabendazole resistance in haemonchus contortus
(University of Nairobi, 1989)
Variation and yield prediction analyses of some morphological traits in six Kenyan landrace populations of spiderflower (gynandropsis gynandra (L) briq
(University of Nairobi, 1989)
The objective of this study was to investigate the
presence of heritable variation in Kenyan landrace
populations of spiderflower (Gynandropsis gynandra (L)
Briq) and assess the utility of yield components in the
improvement ...

The study was carried out on 12 natural runoff plot sea c h -Being 2 wide and 11. 6m Ionging s t a I led at Kabete Field Station to assess the effect ...
Elecrophoretic variation in potato (Solanum tuberosum) clones susceptible and resistant to bacterial wilt (Pseudomonas solanacearum)
(Faculty of Agriculture, University of Nairobi, 1989)
Electrophoretic technique was used to determine biochemical differences, between potato clones resistant and susceptible to bacterial wilt. This study was based on two isozyme systems – peroxidases and esterases. The ...
Repellency of various oils and pine oil constituents to house flies (diptera: muscidae)
(University of Nairobi, 1989)
Comparative repellency of pine, mineral, motor and silicon
oil to house flies, Musca domestica L., was tested in 10-
minute binary choice bioassays, each employing 20 caged, 4-5
day-old flies. Testing the number of flies ...
Nitrogen forms in soils, and effect of lime, nitrogen and phosphorus salts on nitrogen mineralization
(University of Nairobi, 1989)
Incubation experiment studies were done to determine the effect of lime
(CaC03) at a rate of 10 tons/ha, Diamonium Phosphate (DAP) and Ammonium
Sulphate (AS) at 200 Kg N/ha and Tripple Super Phosphate (TSP) at 100 Kg ...
